Thread: Rusting Howa's

Interesting thing to keep in mind! Just because something is 'stainless' does not mean it won't corrode. All of the Howa's I have owned, have been great rifles and have never rusted (however I do live in a very dry climate and don't hunt on the coast/Fiordland). I have seen some terribly rusted Tikka's in the past too. So it could be to do with how it is stored, or the mix of metals in the build. Either way, it's really gutting when a rifle rusts!!!
