Test results, even in salt water, I have read, puts Rig at or near the top of the list for protection. I have been using it for nearly 20 years and have never had any rust, even after several people have handled a gun and it was not wiped off before being put away. Yes, it is a grease, but if wiped on with a rag that is seasoned with a small amount, it does not leave a greasy feel to metal. In addition, it doesnt run like oil.
