I thought of this question while watching a video on youtube of someone shooting a Steyr AUG in the rain. Personally my guns cost to much for me just to go out in the rain with them. I can wait until clearer skies. So how about you guys?

Mine get shot in the rain,snow,sleet,freezing rain,,sunshine,,what ever the weather is like out when I want to shoot. If it is pouring out they do get broken down and cleaned and wiped down.

I won't do it - like U said - I paid too much for them. I don't see the need.

Normally I don't, but I would if it started raining in the middle of a shooting session. As Bob said just dry and relube them real good if it happen.

I have shot in the rain a few times but wasnt to happy about it. Pretty much what Vic said, if its a shoot and it starts to rain ill finish but thats about as far as it goes

I will only do a range trip in the rain if I know I will have time to properly clean things immediately upon returning from the range. If I know I will only have time for a quick wipe down until the next day, then no rain trips.
On the few days of the year I get to go hunting, well it can be a freakin' hurricane and I will be out there (not that there will be any game out in that weather). _________________ ....running like a lab rat on crack!!!!.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8XZLVvySZ8 |

Hell yeah I shoot in the rain! but not all my guns, just the "defensive" gun's that I use for carry. bad guys dont stop becasue of foul weather, I dont stop carrying because of foul weather I **** sure better be able to shoot well in the foul weather! Rain, Snow... hail once but it wasn't happy.

I shot trap and skeet for years and a lot of matches were in the rain and snow. The guns I carry are also shot any time (work guns are tools) they just have to be cleaned and oiled after. There have been guns that I would not shoot in the rain and they have been sold, if I have to worry about the finish then they are of no use to me.
