    Rusting Howa's

    My SS Howa mini action practically rusts in front of your eyes. Way worse than my other stainless or blued rifles. Only seems to be the action, barrel is fine. Anyone else found this? Also any ideas on prevention? Gun oil did bugger all, eezox seems to be better but still the odd it of rust just sitting in safe let alone hunting!
