The only exception I see some HUNTERS doing is when they load up for the season, they do not clean the rifle at the end of the day. But it would be interesting to hear from them, what do they do if say... during the course of the day you have three shots. Do you leave the rifle and plug for the future hunts without cleaning, or do you take the rifle, break it down, and thoroughly clean it?
I use BH209 and I took 8 deer last year with my MLer over a 2week period and did not clean my gun, the entire time. humidity was high as it rained or snowed most of that 2 weeks. I wiped the outside down after being in the rain but other than that nothing. No rust, another plus to your devil advocate post
