With the number of post from you Muley, I'd almost say you are beginning to sound like a democrat running for office. What part of, "Everyone has his own thing," did you miss in this conversation???

We are all happy that your way works for you, with the emphasis on YOU!!!

Happy hunting brother Muley!!!

You don't want to see my posts. Don't post to me. Simple to understand.

Meanwhile back to the original question.

As long as I am not in rain - I leave it.

Same here, except I wipe the outside down with a clean dry cloth and then lock mine in the shed, especially during cold weather so there's no condensation. If I'm not going to be able to hunt again for 4-5 days, I'll fire out the load and clean the rifle.
