[QUOTE="simone, post: 2859410, member: 103268"] That's just crazy, who knows what happened to those guns. They must have been stored in the worst way possible before getting to the shop. Maybe it has something to do with shipping overseas, who knows. My bergaras are not prone to rust for sure because i abused them quite a bit and i have never seen a single eust spot in years. So the metal or the surface is clearly not prone to rust generally. If you find a rusted rifle in a shop you can't know what caused the rust since the gun was not in your possession. Buying a gun without rust and seeing the rust popping up worh regular use and good maintenance is the only way someone can tell if the gun is prone to rust. I have seen rust developing only on my remingtons and on my czs. The stock of a cz even had mold growing inside a cz 527 carbine stock. Oh and a friend of mine had his savage 110 turn into orange overnight. And once i was replacing rear sights on a glock 19 and there was rust underneath. Anyway, i have never heard about rust issues with bergaras from people i know and i never had any bad experience in this regard. Generally speaking, newer guns tend to rust much more than old ones (first half of 1900), I have seen many old surplus rifles without a single rust spot but almost any used modern rifle you see in gun shops has rust here where i live and in Italy in general!
