Put a can of WD 40 in the truck and spray the rifle down good before heading home. When you get home, do a good disassemble/clean in the usual manner.

I'd take whichever you can shoot best, although under the circumstances the MN is a good choice. It and the .30-30 are probably the best cartridges, of your choices.
