Hey guys just got my first bolt action rifle. All I've had before are .22s and ar15s. Just cleaned to bore, do you oil the barrel or run it dry? For my ar I run an oil patch through and then a dry patch. Same for the m700?
 
Yes. Make sure you keep the chamber dry as an oily one can cause pressure issues.
