I wonder how folks chambers rust up after several days in the rain without being properly cleaned? I've seen it on taped and untaped muzzles.
Due to the climate here, I've always just bought stainless rifles with some sort of synthetic stock. Haven't had any real functional rust issues, though my Kimber does like to splotch up some.
My rifle just goes over by the woodstove when I come home wet. I cannot imagine trying to keep a blued/walnut rifle in good trim in these conditions. I am certain guys do it, but life is too damn short...
