Once you clean the bore with most bore solvents, it has no protection against corrosion, so at least run a patch or two soaked with G-96 or another corrosion inhibitor through the bore. You can then store the rifle like that, or you can run a dry patch through the bore before storage. If you choose not to run a dry patch through the bore at that time, do so before firing the rifle. In any case, the dry patch will remove excess corrosion inhibitor, but it will still leave a thin film in the bore.
