10/22 blued vs stainless barrel, any concerns with rusting?
Hi Guys,
I bought a new Sts. Ruger 10/22 recently and really enjoy it. There was another 10/22 that caught my attention-- the Tactical Model FS (with muzzle brake).
I'd like to get one but I for one tend to shy away from blued guns/barrels. Does the bore of a blued gun require more cleaning and care than a stainless barrel? I want to prevent bore pitting as much as possible but don't want to have to scrub the bore any more than how I plan to maintain my stainless 10/22 (I plan to scrub the bore only when accuracy begins to suffer).
Do you give your blued Ruger 10/22 more care and cleaning compared to your stainless one?
The gun will be used mainly for target shooting only in dry conditions.
Thanks in advance!
