500--
You strike me as a man who knows a nice pair when he sees one--and I'm not talking about rifles! Let's just say I eagerly look forward to your comments on this or any other topic...

I've hunted with both guns in the snow, but I really take pains to get them dried off and near a heat source as soon as the hunt's done. I wouldn't take them into really rough conditions for any length of time.

Thanks for checking in!
