I have found that using military gun cleaner called rifle bore cleaner - MIL-C-372B & AM 2 6850-224-6656 made by Seaboard Labs Inc. to work about the same as Hoppes with almost no smell.It should be available to you at military surplus stores in your area.When deer season rolls around I clean my gun with it and then rub the outside of the gun down with no-scent spray,then I dry patch the bore and use a mixture of cedar and spruce oil on several patches to cover any solvent smell,I also rub the outside with these oils also.After season I resume the gun oil and hopefully have to clean it from being fired Being " scent proof" is impossible to attain as we all breathe on a regular basis but,lowering your foreign scent out-put down as low as possible will help when winds are swirling or changing directions every few minutes and scents like human/sweaty leather/gun solvent/and certain food smells like garlic and onion are the most out of place in the deer woods.Like everything else lowering your scent is another tool to use to run a better chance of seeing a buck before he sees you.
