txhunter58 when I am going to store the rifle I run a patch of Birchwood Casey Sheath down the barrel. Before I shoot it the next time, I run a patch of denatured alcohol through the barrel and then two dry ones and it is ready to shoot without fowling. It does look like the Staghorn might like a fowled barrel.

I have some real concerns over the use of bore butter. I do use bore butter on my conicals. (Although I made some homemade conical lube that is working out really good) I do not use bore butter to protect my rifle during storage from rusting. I really believe that bore butter is not intended to prevent rusting. Granted it might inhibit rust, as in slow the process down, but it will not prevent it. A lot of people believe the continued use of bore butter will season their bore. Well I do not want my bore seasoned. I want it clean. As I said, those that use bore butter to protect their rifles during storage is fine, because they are not my rifles....
