Speaking of hunting, I look at these fine old rifles and wonder how many times they got rained on and snowed on and dropped in the creek, and still look good today. Not all of them certainly, but plenty were. Most guides in Alaska and Canada say you need a stainless steel rifle with a plastic stock, as though a walnut stock and rust blued metal will self destruct. There are plenty of beat up worn out rifles, but I think it takes real abuse and neglect.

Do you guys take your nice rifles out in bad weather?

And as for accuracy, 2 MOA is absolutely fine by me. That puts everything on a paper plate at 400 yards. Try that with a 2 power scope or a Lyman 48.
