I learned that lesson long ago in a similar type monsoon, only with a 270win Ruger 77 TS. Mine took years to dry out. Back in those days I did all my hunting with the same rifle, only CF I had.

Now when it's looking like rain the Stainless Syn rifles come out to play.

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.
