[QUOTE="Tim Sharp, post: 2941828, member: 107251"] I think the Remington quality is similar to any other mass produced factory rifle. Oxidation occurs on carbon steel when the environmental conditions are right (temperature and humidity). Your 700 will clean up easy. As others have mentioned, remove barrelled action from the stock and lightly buff with 0000 steel wool soaked in a light lubricant (i use WD-40 or Kroil). Buff in the direction of the original grain of metal. Rinse with brake clean, and wipe down with a preservation (i.e., CLP or Eezox). After hunting in the rain, I would towel off the gun and open the action and floor plate before the trip home. I generally will leave out the case to for better air circulation. [/QUOTE]
