[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1973698, member: 109476"] While stainless is not 100% corrosion prof It for sure does an outstanding job. Not one of my stainless Bbl's that have seen decades of hunting trip's, have never shown any sign of corrision. . I have seen blue steel rust over night in hunting camps. Coatings on the out side are just that. Inside the bore is where stainless really shines & where the real protection is needed. . Before I head to a hunting camp I always put shots on a target to confirm point of impact. The bore is not cleaned but left fouled. If cleaned , even the slightest trace of oil in the bore can cause the first and/or second shot to be off considerably. Spending days in cold wet hunting camp's over the years has never resulted in a rusted stainless bore of mine. If you leave a blued steel bore unprotected for this same length of time you risk a corroded bore. [/QUOTE]
