I hunt with a variety of rifles over the antelope, deer and elk seasons. I leave the heavy maintenance and cleaning until after the seasons are over and then go through each weapon one at a time.
I look for screws that may have loosened in the scope rings and bases, thoroughly clean barrel and action, apply lubes where needed, wipe down stocks with a little oil and clean the scope lenses.
Before the season starts, the rifle I am using goes to the range with me and is fired several times to check POI. Light cleaning may be done according to hunting conditions.
There is no better feeling than being prepared and taking your animal with one shot and no hesitations....(and no surprises)
