After shooting, target or deer, I patch and nylon brush the bore with BoreTech Eliminator, patch the barrel dry and apply Frog Lube paste to the bore and exposed metalwork. Three or four dry patches through the bore before shooting.

I periodically clean the locking lugs and lug recesses and apply a thin coat of Gold Lube to the rear of the lugs and a thin coat of Frog Lube to the bolt.

Also check the scope optics and my binos for any dust etc. Blow it off and carefully clean the lenses with a lens pen or clean lens cloth.

Clean and resharpen my knife if it has been used.
