[QUOTE="LB, post: 12408, member: 2721"] Yeah, well don't forget to tell her that you asked for it! Maybe the only consideration here is similiar to an oily or slightly wet bore, from the bench. Might open up the group, slightly, might not? But, driving a bullet through a driving rain after it has left the barrel is probably more of a challenge, than the wet bore? I've hunted in rain before, and my only consideration was rain drops on the ocular lens. The visibility in general is so restricted because of the sparkle, looking through the scope. Once it really starts coming down, most of your quarry is seeking shelter, anyway. But, I'm a firm believer in subjecting the rifle to the elements it has to operate in. I wouldn't keep it in a hermetically sealed case, and pop it open on the spot. We used to get a plastic cap that slid over the flashguard, back in my war hero days, but holding your rifle with the barrel down is just as effective, if you don't have one handy. Just do the best you can with what you have, and don't worry about it. Oh! and good luck! LB [/QUOTE]
