Take the barrelled action out of the stock and spray it down with Eezox. Typically it dries in 1-2 days and fingerprints won't even show up. I thought the stuff was a hoax but my gunsmith recommended it and it even smells good almost girly. Typical application spray down the barrel assembly and wipe it dry. Then put a thin mist on the barrelled action and let it air dry. That's all there is too it.
