I bought an 870 express super mag this year. I love this gun. I can shoot better than I ever have with it. I took it out on the opener of the duck hunt, it was raining hard saturday. I didnt think anything of it at the time. When we got back to the house from the hunt I cleaned the gun inside and out. Left all my gear by the fireplace to dry out. On sunday morning when I went to put my gun back in its case to go hunting again I noticed a funny look on the butt stock. I looked closer and the grain was raised and the finish was coming off. This was the first hunt this gun had been on. :shock: I have had a couple of shotguns with wood stocks before, and have never had this problem. So what do I do? Should I call Remington and bitch, :evil: or should I just refinish it right? It looks like the water got between the recoil pad, the receiver and the stock. I do some wood work and I know that it should be common practice to finish the end grain of the wood, as to seal it off. Anyway just wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this with a Remington with a wood stock, or anyother gun? My old mossberg used to get really wet with me on some duck hunts and I never had a problem with it like this. IT JUST MAKES ME MAD! :evil:
