[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 42536, member: 25"] 10x, Since I started storing my rifles muzzle down I always note a bit of solvent and/or oil seeping down into to the cloth I put under the muzzle - you are correct about seepage as otherwise that solvent would probably soak into the action area and bedding. I got interested in this when I saw some McMillan stocks that had become "solvent-soaked" and the bedding area had gone punky. I assume that this was caused by improper storage and also spilled solvent during cleaning. Understand that the current favored bedding compound "Marine Tex" (not sure of spelling) is not as effected by solvents as older compounds. [/QUOTE]
