Somebody's talking crap here & it ain't the tree!
don't get too complacent about your stainless peeshooters,I thought that too but they will rust ,just takes a bit longer,i got a model 700 REM with some nice marks on it,that came from a solid 4 day weekend of shooting and not running a wipe over it![]()
Some may rust but not all. I've had some small spots appear on the bead blasted surface of my T3 barrel but not on my other stainless barrels. Depends on the steel composition.
Anyway if you don't clean them you'll have a nice layer of copper down the bore to protect it from rust
