Well said JohnnyHildo,
I don't worry so much about my guns getting wet because if they do, I strip, dry and then clean them meticulously when I get home after the hunt. Our late ML season can be nasty at times. Here in northern PA during our late ML season (which is flintlock only), most of the time we deal with snow. But, I've seen many times when we've had rain showers that change to sleet/freezing rain or wet snow over the course of several hours. I've lost several opportunities to take a shot over the years because I just couldn't get my sights cleared of those big wet heavy snowflakes in time to take the shot when a deer presented itself.
