look so long as new hunters obey some basic principal's they wont go wrong 1) oils coat and protect but they can cover nastys like rust and in a barrel mettalic fouling - solvents penetrate and use the right one in your barrel follow the manufactures instructions and you cant go wrong a proper solvent will get your fouling out - it may require a bronze brush but there is plenty of tutorials on you tube and good info on here to do the job right - so oils coat solvents penetrate - CRC and WD 40 do not belong near your firearm unless under very specific use - spray that around willy nilly and it will stain your walnut stock and get into places it does not belong- be warned - a little on rust spots yes - less is best - light oiling of moving parts -regular inspection of your rifle is a must - damp is your real enemy- closely followed by barrel fouling and failure to clean a barrel properly -
