The Elite is a bit tougher than the standard but it's still gonna scratch.
Don't cerakote the bolt or anywhere in the action. I learned the hard way that's the best way to get a sticky action. Removing cerakote once it's there is not an easy ordeal. If I cerakote a bolt I only cerakote the part you see in the ejection port when the bolt it closed and usually it's just the flutes that I'll coat.
