I should have added that I only coat an internal action part if it's a chrome moly part. If it's a SS part then I may coat it for asethetic reasons only. SS and nickel plated parts hold up real well if you wipe 'em down with Corrosion X.

I think you would do real well if you went with an SS or Ti 700 and kept it wiped down with Corrosion X. I coat most of my rifles with CeraKote or KG Gunkote because I have the equipment but sometimes forget most folks don't have those resources or the funds.

Another tip is to stick with a good synthetic stock, they handle moist environments better than most wood stocks do though some folks are pretty good and at moisture proofing them (like our moderator Sitka Deer).
