98% of my guns are Remington. I own a M700 SS 260 and that finish is great. I owned a M700 SPS SS 270 WSM. With the SPS I had to be careful with it. If you didn't wipe it down after handling it it would develope rust where your hand touched it. If I kept it well oiled it wasn't a problem. Others I know haven't had a problem with the SPS SS finish. So maybe I just had a bad finish on mine.
