[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1325140, member: 105"] JE Custom, Thanks for the help and thanks to the poster before you. I'll get something to help with humidity in my safe but my safe has always been in the air conditioned part of my house. I read once on Benchrest.com that you shouldn't use Rem Oil in a barrel because it has teflon in it and that you don't want teflon in a rifle barrel. They recommended Kroil and that's what I've used for years but I recently took the rifle to Whidden Gun Works to have it bedded and their gunsmith scoped my stainless barrel and said it had signs of rust present and past. I was surprised and started reading up on Kroil. They claim rust preventative properties...

I would usually clean the barrel down to bare metal as well as I could and then shoot two or three fouling shots and then hunt with it but today I left the oil in my barrels and shot my 3 most accurate rifles and the first group on all 3 rifles was so good (well under an inch) that I don't intend to shoot foulers any more before hunting unless I'm expecting 300 yard or further shots.

They're all either stainless or cerakoted and a few have Trinyte coating. The only rust I ever see is on the scope base and ring screw heads. Bob [/QUOTE]
