Bear with me guys, probably a dumb question but here goes....I have been hunting and shooting for 25 years but basically only shoot in October-December. Last year I purchased a new rifle and decided that I'm going to shoot more regularly to better my skills and because it's so much fun. The question is, what kind of care does a rifle need in the hot summer weather? I understand I can't shoot a bunch of 5-10 shot strings unless I want a new barrel, but I plan on shooting 5-10 shots maybe a couple times a month. Normally I don't clean my gun till done hunting but it does get wiped down regularly with clp. Anything I need to do different? It's a walnut stocked Hawkeye.
