If you oil the bore dry patching will not remove it! ( if it did the oil would be rubbish). If I am storing a rifle for more than a day or two I use Kroil in the bore, but before using it I clean it with a solvent patch first then the dry patches. If I dont it always shoots different first two shots ( usually low). If I solvent it it shoots dead to zero point first shot.
