First post and all, but I had an account by this name on scout and was on the good guy list, I just read mostly. Two ears, one mouth, you get the idea.
I shot a match a few weeks ago in the rain with my RPR. After I was done, threw the rifle in the back of the truck and drove home, camped overnight and drove the rest of the way the next day. Found this when I got home. Total time wet, roughly 30 hours.
Most of it is surface, and came off with WD40 and a rag. Whatever the metal finish is, it doesn't seem to hold up very well. Have had rifles in the rain for extended periods before, hunting and deployment, and haven't seen anything like this before. My brother has a painted RPR and hasnt had issues, but he doesn't drag it around in nastiness like I do.
My question is, Aervoe rattlecan or cerakote? I really just need to keep it from rusting, coyote calling camo is a bonus.
