[QUOTE="Full Curl, post: 1801183, member: 47602"] Is it recommend to ever remove the stock when cleaning a hunting rifle? I have everything from factory models to full custom builds. All of my rifles have been bedded and I usually just use the air compressor and blow out the area where the barrel/action and stock meet as best I can. I take care of them and don’t ever let them get poured on or dropped in the mud but I know debris, dust, and whatever else probably accumulates in there. I like the idea of keeping the underside of the barrel and action nice and clean, but I hate the idea of reinstalling it and messing with action screw torq and possibly changing POI. If I dropped it in a creek, I would obviously remove the stock and do a complete wipe-down cleaning, but what about for normal hunting use? Do you ever remove the stock for cleaning and how often? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
