I've got a Ruger 77 that is only a couple years old and has the matte stainless finish.
I was shooting one day when a very light drizzle started. Seriously, sun was still out and one disgruntled cloud let loose just a couple of small drops that fell onto a couple of my rifles.
At the end of the day I wiped them down, cleaned, lubed and let them sit out and air dry with the bolt out.
For some reason, this 1 Ruger has started to rust. Take care of one spot and another crops up. When I noticed a couple of rusty spots today sprayed it down with clp pretty well and put it up.
I am in the process of building our future house and some things are a bit unsettled at times so for now I am storing this gun, and a few others, in a hard travel case with reactivated silica which I know is t perfect , but again...this is the only gun that wants to rust.
Any ideas on how to prevent future rust aside from storing it in a safe?
