Getting ready to embark on our spring Peninsula bear hunt in a month and have a queston for the guys that have experience hunting on the coast. Any special tricks to care for the guns while hunting in Salt water environment. I have heard all the horror stories about stainless guns rusting in a week, although I am sure there is more to blame than just saltwater. We will be there 10 days and other than keeping them clean,dry and oiled as much as possible is there any product reccommended thats best for keeping the guns in good shape when exposed to salt spray and or saltwater environments.Thanks in advance
