Remington SPS SST
I was at Cabelas today checking out some guns. I almost bought a Remington SPS SST Camo. While I was mulling it over I was checking out the used gun rack and they had two of the SPS SST Camo guns on the rack and the SST was rusting and pitted on the barrel. Seeing that made me decide not to buy the new gun. Do any of you have the Remington SPS SST models? If so do you have problems with rust? Any input would be appreciated!

mine doesnt show any signs of rust on it at all. I have hunted in the rain with it, forgotten to dry it off or clean it for over a week, and there was NO rust or any visible signs of water damage anywhere.

For most of us, caring for our guns properly is almost a passion. We would never let a firearm sit neglected. But, there are others, I'm sure who view them as only a tool such as a shovel or a pick. They treat them pretty rough.
I too have seen such abused guns and wonder what kind of a person could let that happen. I just can't take them all home with me.........

I don't have a Remington in SST but my Encore .50 Cal barrel in stainless does have some brown spots on it from several days of hunting in the rain. No pitting, but I can't get rid of the spots.

There are times that a rifle cannot be pampered ..Hunting in a remote area precludes that from happening. I leave my rifles outside the tent at night if on that type of hunt.
