I like to deep clean the bores of my centerfire rifles and then fire a fouling shot or a couple more rounds at most to check zero. Then I put them in the safe, where they may stay for a few months. I don't like the idea of leaving those beautiful bores unprotected from moisture for extended periods. Can I leave a coat of oil in them without undoing the benefits of the fouling shots? Will the oil, even if I clean it out with a dry patch, affect the first shot on a hunt?
