I just moved from one part of the city to another, but didn't realize the humidity is much higher at my new place. My safe at the old place used to be 45% humidity, which never gave me any problems.
I didn't realize this until I grabbed my 308 after a few months of being here. I see what appears to be (minor?) rust, but the whole point of this rifle is for long range iron sight shooting (200 yards+ is "long range" in this context, for a 3 in target). So once again, I'm terribly worried about the effect this will have on accuracy.
How badly do you guys think this will affect the rifle, after cleaning? Any suggestions on getting this stuff off? I picked up some kroil after doing some research, but wanted to ask what you guys thought before going forward with it. So far I'm, hearing I should fill the barrel with kroil for a few hours, then clean with a brass brush?
You can see the results below... hoping this is not the end of this rifle's accuracy...?
