Another way of drying the bolt out is to place it on the dash of your vehicle near the vent with the heater/defroster on high. One can pull the firing pin assy out(even on a Rem 700)for faster results.
I did that once after falling in a creek after dusk, rifle went completely underwater! Luckily my camp was a half mile away, I ran all the way back! (Unit 66A in ID)
