Rifle bags

I was once out with a lad a long time ago and he rested his rifle on the ground, covered in mud and sh*t, he washed it off in a stream and it was a Howa I’m surprised it never dissolved

I power wash mine after every outing, then a good dip in turtle wax

The most heathen treatment I've ever seen of a firearm was a lad who had been out rabbit shooting off of a quad at night with his 686 Beretta 20.  He'd shot a fair few and had to gut them straight away.  Mud from the quad wheels had splattered all over the gun.  As it was late he forgot to do anything with the gun which was left in the box on the back of the Quad in the open barn.  Overnight the temp had dropped well below freezing and the mud which covered the gun as if it had been planted in a veg trench was frozen solid.  it was like concrete and the gun wouldn't even open.  A while later and he was carrying it around in the yard looking like new  He had only gone and steam cleaned it and then sprayed it with WD40.  the gun didn't appear to have suffered any harm and worked as you would expect.  He was an excellent shot with it and used it for at least a couple more years before he moved away.
