I always remove the bolt from my bolt action rifles before storage.
This is because I store them upright and with a thin film of oil in the barrel. I remove the bolt to eliminate the possibility of seepage of oil into the firing pin channel.
Is there any reason why I should not put a thin smear of grease or a waxy rust preventative in the bore instead, so that I wouldn't need to remove the bolt for storage?
