Hey Dick,
Sounds like they use the same stainless on the browning....mine shows a little bit of rust on the barrell
Must have something to do with the rain and lakes mine always seem to wind up in. Falls are tough on rifles for sure....5 weeks on the tundra tends to be a little messy. Winters a little easier....they never get thawed unless it's for a good cleaning.....gotta love brake fluid
It's not really a complaint about the rifle....just a difference of opinion with me and Roy's bean counters. IMO it doesn't make sense to use a blued steel action when they attach it to a ss barrell...but it does to them
I don't want to steal this thread so I'll pm you my next question
