Neglecting to clean your rifle results in this...
A guy I know asks me to look at his rifle because it "might need a good cleaning and the trigger was acting up this fall".
Oh my.
A picture is worth more than a thousand words.
People, learn how to take care of your firearms.

How do you prevent the results in the last picture? I’ve yet to find anything that completely eliminates this in a rifle that goes outside.

I have never seen rust like that on a scope tube under the rings. It almost looks like the scope was used for a lapping bar.

Lol, I had a neighbor bring me his rem 760 because it kept jamming. It looked 10x worse than that. I literally had to start by scraping the crust off it.

Chuck, I am guessing we are close in age. I have never seen a scope like that and I have hunted in the pouring rain many times.

Hate to see that... but check this out. Wife’s uncle said his bolt was sticky. I said bring it over I’ll Clean it up and we can head to the range to get it ready for deer season ..... oh boy. Made me a little sick. Felt bad for the gun ,it had started life as a beautiful browning 270. I offered to strip the stock and even offered a spare scope I had. “”Nah that’s ok it’s a straight shooter “”

That rust is transfer from the rings. How do you prevent rust from forming on the inside of the rings. I’m curious.

Those gouge marks on that scope are from twisting the scope in the rings. The rust on the scope is what rubbed off the ring onto the scope.

Gun cleaning
A very light coating of grease,should prevent the scope rust.A good idea to remove the bolt,and wipe down the rifle very trip.The otis system works well, afew pulls thrus after fireing,brushing if hvy.Form a good cleaning habit and its all part of the fun.The salt water market hunting days was a different story, shotguns had to be disasembled very trip, some times placed in the shower to wash the salt off, with two semis and a pump this was quite a job,but had to be done--
