Dunkield Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 We booked stalking for this coming Friday and Saturday over a year ago. If the weather men are right it will be absolutely chucking it down for 2 days solid. I have stainless rifle with an ABS stock, so that is the least of my worries. The moral of the story is buy the right tools for the job, and you won't be afraid to use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AP1shooter Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I usually carry a piece of chamois leather just to give the gun a quick wipe over before i put it in the slip then get home and clean and oil the Gun no problem really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 My shotguns are used in the field,I hardly shoot clays(8 times in 26 years......and it shows ) Therefore they are scratched,dented and abused as most tools are and they are given a good clean on irregular occaisions as the barrels are chrome lined,but get an oily rag after each session. I shoot fairly well with them and don`t mind that they are ugly and abused.I have a Berretta 686(old banana barrels) and a Remington 11-87 semi in cammo.

william Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I have a browning sporter for any shot gun/clays a cz rimmy for bunnies and a.243 tikka t3 laminate stainless with nightforce scope and wildcat moderator for fox and deer. I don't mind them getting wet or muddy I just clean dry and lubricate them. after all they are tools of the trade and a bit of wet doesn't hurt them if you look after them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 As predicted further up this thread, we did spend 2 days in hosing rain for about 6hours at day without any let up. This what my gun looked towards the end of day 2, every bit of non stainless steel (and some bits that are ) was starting to rust. Don't ever get in from a day like that, chuck your rifle in a wet slip and go down the pub for several hours, leaving it locked in a cold/wet wagon, that would be really stupid thing to do :blink: :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziplex Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I still 'borrow' my mates grade 3 Miroku and you ought to see the state of it, the rib is dented to hell, the stock is pitted and it generally looks ratty but it shoots well enough. I don't like it too much but beggars can't be choosers! He has had it years and uses it for everything including wildfowling.....yes the blueing is **** too, but fundamentaly the gun is as good as new...........begs the question why he bought a grade 3 gun for his style of shooting in the first place as it makes little sense!, his argument is he likes Miroku and it's never let him down, and he'd buy the same gun again.
