Is there something else, synthetic stocks and stainless.....rifles are tools and meant to be used! Though most of ours are.....blue! memtb
I was going to say just about the same thing. With stainless and synthetic I don't have to fret about light precipitation, but even with ss and synthetic if I get caught in a heavy rain I will put the rifle in the case and take it out when it is over or I need to shoot.
