Mr. Furious, thank you for the input. I do live in a warm humid environment --- the Panhandle of FL. I swear it seems like faint surface rust will begin within hours of use if don't wipe all the rifles down with a very light coat of oil as soon we are finished. That's not a poke at Savage or these rifles --- they shoot accurately and have functioned flawlessly. They have been temperamental with only one brand of ammunition so far. I was just wondering if there is a better oil or alternative product to use when wiping them down. Currently I use Rem Oil because its the only gun oil on my bench.
