I hunt with 90% of my guns and they all have been very wet to soaked at times, properly cleaned and put away, I can't detect any lasting damage. Here in the Finger Lakes it seems to rain or snow every day during the hunting seasons!! I do always have a couple runners cooling towels in my pocket and wipe the rain and or water off (from my Lab) my duck guns. These runner cooling towels are sponge like and will absorb water when wet. They are a great product and keep the water on your gun to a minimum. That being said the few high condition guns I have never get hunted. Way more guns get ruined from falls, poor storage and poor gunsmithing in my opinion.
