Problem is that there are a heck of a lot of folks that like the plastic jackets.. They completley seal the breech area from any moister. Combine that with a muzzle mitt on the end of the muzzle and the rifle is completely sealed to the point you can throw it in the river - take it out the next day and it will shoot just fine.
In a down pour the ability of many ML's to shoot can be compromised....
