[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 229676, member: 4191"] Stainless steels rust, but they are more resistant to rusting than chrome-moly barrels and actions. You still have to take care of them, though not quite as diligently as the non-stainless rifles. Unless your getting sea water on them. Then they need quite a bit of maintenance to prevent rusting just like non-stainless firearms. Also, some grades of stainless are more or less resistant to corrosion (rust) than others. You could pay to have them coated with Cerakot or one of the other coatings that provide extreme resistance to corrosion. But you'll still have to take care of the bore in rust prone areas like when hunting saltwater shorelines or in boats on the ocean. [/QUOTE]
