Spent the day bowhunting in the rain.. Doesn't bother me all that much, but a few times I thought about how that weather would affect a firearm. I love synthetic stocks, but I do have a wood one, or two..
What is standard for bringing a wet gun home besides a tear down and clean?Any special precautions about treating the gun in preparation for a wet day? Are there guns that shouldn't be in the rain at all?
My shotguns are synthetic, but Iam concernedabout the wood on other rifles.
Thanks

All my wood stocked guns have nearly water proof finishes and the barrel channels have been glassed. Sometimes if they are really wet i will take the barrel and action out of the stock and wipe everything down good.i coat all the metal parts that are hidden by the wood withheavy grease, not oil.
