It's better to prevent a problem than to successfully correct one, especially if it could have been avoided in the first place.

My Dad hunted with a pre-64 Featherweight for 30 years. Rain or snow. Always wiped it down at the end of the day. I've been using that same gun now for 10 years. Clean it the same way. Has bluing wear from use, but never any rust.
