Bolts in bolt action rifles don't usually rust because they're normally coated with a thin coat of lubricant. Have never had one spot of rust appear on a chromoly bolt in over fifty years of owning bolt action rifles. I have seen a few surface rusted bolts on old neglected rifles.

Been using Renaissance wax a few years on my Anschutz .22 rifle stocks and have used it on the metal as well. Prefer Foglube paste instead for the metalwork though.

I meant the entire bolt (shroud, handle etc). But I get what you mean.

Never used Froglube. I like the name...
