I’m curious about the weather shield model, in .270.
Budsgunshop on line has the .308 weather shield for ~$780- not too shabby of a price IMHO.
I'm curious about the weather shield coating.
Is it only on the exterior of the steel? (Meaning is the inside of the barrel still able to rust if left untreated after hunting in foul weather too long?)
Will the weather shield chip off if banged against something?
That ain't a bad price at all. I'm just having trouble resisting the Sako A7 in 270 on Gunbroker for $565.
