[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1199632, member: 50867"] First and foremost, don't believe the myth that stainless steel doesn't rust. There are many grades of stainless and rust is not uncommon; even if it takes a bit longer to occur. Waaaay back when, during my bench rest comp. days, I cleaned my rifle until there was no trace of anything. I've learned a lot since then. Today I simply run a series of patches with Hoppe's until one comes out fairly clean, run five strokes with a bronze brush and repeat the Hoppe's sequence, dry patch; then repeat the bronze brush/Hoppe's one more time. Another couple of dry patches followed with a careful cleaning of the chamber then a bore scope inspection and a patch with Kroil before putting the rifle away. Dry patch before next shooting to remove any oil residue. Cold bore shots are on target 1/2 MOA. [/QUOTE]
