Gnoahhh, evidently Richard Pritchard does and sounds like he makes his living at it. I live in Texas and to be honest just don't worry about rain. I have guns that are made for those kind of days. I use a sealer and oil finish that comes from a man that has made an enormous amount of money through his life using said sealer and finish. I know how to seal, finish, and repair a stock. I new to Savages and their intricacies but not to guns. Been doing this junk for 40 odd years. I might even know something that the guys here on the board don't know. powdr
