I have been hunting in some seriously dusty areas lately and my rifle is basically a dirt magnet. How often are you guys cleaning in these conditions? I'm worried about over-lubing and making it worse but also don't want grit wrecking my action
In dusty areas, you gotta go light on the lube. Use a dry film or a very thin synthetic oil on the action, then wipe everything almost dry, otherwise that wet oil just turns into grit-paste and kills your rifle
