I have a 116, while not blued it's stainless and has never rusted on me. The gun is 23 years old, and I got it dirt cheap at Wal-Mart while I was in college before joining the Air Force. I mention this, as I have numerous stainless barreled rifles, the Savage and Winchester are the only ones to have never gotten any rust on them. I keep them dry as much as I can during hunting season, and then clean and oil them before storing them.
