Rifle case rubbing off the rifle blue?

[jasons]

I just cut my rifle in a Cabela’s case and drove 11 hrs with it sitting upright. When I opened it up I had serious rub marks on various places. Anyone ever had a case rub off the coating on their scope or rifle? Any tips on what’s going on?

That’s probably your case on the gun, not the gun being worn down. Take some good cleaner and get in there, see what happens

Looks like it might be the white marker, that was used to create the foam cutout, is rubbing off the foam onto your rifle.

Looks like whatever you used to mark the foam, also marked the rifle.

More importantly, fix your scope mounting. Bridged = no bueno

Also, looks like the mount has a 20 moa offset. Since your mount is backwards, it is working in the opposite direction.

If you used a hot wire to cut the foam, that could be melted foam residue on the scope and rifle. It should clean off. Need to check and see if your foam edges are stiff.

I usually use a patch with gun oil on it, rub it in good and wipe it off. If it requires more, I'll wipe it down with gun solvent and then gun oil.

Fix your mounting. Bridging the receiver and handguard is a recipe for problems. Also, you mount is backwards. The cantilever should be forward with the objective
