I lightly clean and oil my gun before my last sight in before the season. After that I only wipe it down with a silicone cloth. I will only fire a few shots during the season so I don't clean the bore until the season is over and if I must I do so with a bore snake only. The silicone doesn't smell and it keeps a protective layer. I keep desicant in my gun cabinet to keep my firearms dry so I don't worry about rust.
