Default Hunting rifle refinish

We have a lot of feral hogs on our hunting land. I carry a weapon always. Don't want an encounter of the worse kind with some 220# sow. Unfortunately, I worked 3 days in the rain putting out fertilizer and planting seed. It has wreaked havoc on my rifles finihs and I am taking it to a local shop "Accurate Plating and Weaponry".

The gun is a Dakota Arms in 7-08

Options I am considering:
1. hard chrome plating matte finish
2. black chrome plating matte finish
3. Cerakote

I would appreciate your thoughts on this sas I hope to get in the shop ASAP


Thanks
D

Ditto. Only if it's as durable as the hard chrome. Otherwise, Cerakote (sprayed correctly ) will last as well. Then you can camo it if you would like.
