It’s not ideal foraccuracy or safety but we can work with it.

I use my safety a lot but am not so sure about doing it for dryness. Wouldn’t a drop of water wick in around the bolt face and be pulled straight in between brass and chamber by capillary / surface tension ?

@Jit was along with his tricked up Tikka 7mmRM - the chamber stayed pretty much completely dry. There was quite a difference. I do agree though that probably the thing is just to be aware of it and check from time to time. Or maybe the black plastic bag - I mean, these were quite extreme conditions with high winds and heavy driving rain. So you know.
