We're talking new European guns that are $2000 and up when hunted in the rain or humid conditions tend to show white blotches or bare wood. I can understand guns that are 100 years old with finish wear, but modern guns that exhibit that same problem is inexcusable. Just another reason to avoid Eurotrash.
Thank you Mike. I did a Citori with Timberlux and it turned out quite nice. Maybe I'll just do it myself to protect the wood. Hey...aren't you supposed to be in Vegas right now doing stuff that stays in Vegas?
