Thread: Rifles that don't age well

I once had Remington 700 heavy barrel with a matte finish, perhaps some sort of cerakote I'm not sure, whatever Remington used from factory as it was one of the rare times I bought a new rifle. Anyway, it scratched easily and quickly formed a light coating of surface rust overnight just from the dew from sleeping outdoors. I thought it was borderline defective. I ended up selling it after I broke the stock in a car accident. Haven't bought a brand new rifle since lol
