[QUOTE="MontanaMarine, post: 1404995, member: 268"] A lot of year is cool enough around here that my barrels just don't get that hot. If it's mid summer, 80s-90s, I'll get up and take a break for a few minutes and put the rifle in the shade of the truck with the action open and letting a little breeze flow through it. Maybe 5 minute pause or so. My general rule of thumb is that if the barrel is cool enough to hold onto, it's not hot. When the oil on the outside of the barrel starts smoking, then it's getting pretty hot. Only done that with military weapons though. [/QUOTE]
