My Jeffrey double nicely got soaked in a tropical thunderstorm during the banteng hunt in November. Plus the very high humidity and salty sweat from handling.

I just rubbed the metal work down with an oily rag. The stock didn't seem to be effected.

I did carry the rifle upside down on a sling on my shoulder - muzzles down - during the rain so the rain couldn't run down the barrels. I was more worried about my digital SLR and digital video cameras in my day pack I must say.

This rifle has obviously seen some hard use so as long as it is re-oiled it must have done this sort of thing many times in the past.
