    Are you supposed to oil your stainless rifle? I thought that's why you buy stainless so you don't have to clean the fukin thing every time after you take it out, if I had a stainless howa that rusted without being oiled it would be sold

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Sure, you have more time before stainless steel rifles will rust compared to chrome-moly but some people have this idea that SS doesn't rust at all. I've seen a few stainless barrel bores that were completely pitted.

    My old Howa .270 would develop rust spots overnight in the tent if it was damp night, the inside of the receiver was particularly susceptible to to it. No complaints with how it shot though.

    Sako versus Howa. Like comparing Sako to a Blaser. Sako will always hold first place! and I’m not that biased. I only own 3.

    Ha ha well last week we were drop testing at 300m before the goat hunt, and my cheap and apparently rust prone Howas shot 0.6 and 0.7MOA five shot groups, ‘bout the same as the two Tikkas. Along comes the big cheese with his 4x the price Sako and he manages 1.5MOA so he says no, I pulled one or two, he’ll have another go, and shoots 2MOA and that’s not including the flier... off he goes all haughty and nose up in the air... and he missed a few easy as goats too. Highly entertaining.

    Looks like she's ready to drop. What cartridge is your Finn II chambered in Chris?
