Let me tell you first that Im not fond of SS firearms..I like the look of good old bluing or at least any sort of black finishing.
I heard from many sources that stainless steel is not really indispensable (contrary to what many people and gun magazines say) even if you plan to hunt, let's say, in the coastal region of Alaska (rain + salt water issues)
They say, just put some extra care, make sure you dry off your rifle (maybe even take out the stock at the end of your hunting session)
You can also put some protective coating on it before you go out in bad weather....seems to be a good way to make sure that your blued rifle doesn't get ruined...what is the best product in the market for this purpose??
So what is your take on the issue?? Bluing aficionados are "condemned" to SS firearms in crappy meteo conditions or not???
