I am in the market for a .22LR bolt action and have been looking at the Marlin 981T. Or would I be better with a Marlin 980S?

I like the looks of the 981T and also like tube loaders (had a Marlin 883SS)

Should I be concerned with rusting?
 
It is not that easy to make your gun rust if you provide a good clean and lub ever 500 rounds and a nice storage. Marlin tube magzine look great. I prefer blued model too.

I prefer blued usually for general shooting (i.e, silhouette, plinking, benchrest) but prefer the stainless for hunting becuase they are less apt to get scrached up when going through the woods, or putting it on your quad, ect.

I am not generally concerned about rusting.
 
Yeah, sure miss my 883SS :(
Dang, might have to get me another. Cheap W-W .22mag ammo is only $6.99 for 50rnds :D

It will be for plinking, but also heading out to the gopher fields too.
