Thanks common sense. I thought I got ripped a little over my experience about my remington rusting. Yes it was a bead blast finish that rusted almost over night. Next question is what does a guy do when he is hunting all day in drizzle or snow? Wipe it down every 2 hours on the stand? I know bead blast is cheaper but I never saw a gun rust like that and I've owned lots of Rems. It was my favorite gun since I could buy guns. I got accused of neglect a few pages back. Oh well, maybe some of your guns are gun cabinet queens, mine are not. They get beat up real nice and work for me or I get rid of them. They have to make a gun that doesn't rust in a day and a half. Period.
