Tomorrow is the last day of muzzle loading and won't be going out, since I've already filled 4 tags with. Saving my last tag for the rifle season. So this morning I took my Savage apart, gave it a good cleaning, oiled the inside of the bore and rubbed some oil on the snout of the breech plug and vent liner. the breech plug was cleaned out w/5/32 bit and lots of crud came out. Vent liner and breech plug came out with will hardly any effort. I also put my Camo away. With the end of "Primitive Weapons Season" no camo can be worn and here in Saskatchewan all Big Game hunters have to wear a complete out suit of White, Yellow, Red or Blaze Orange. The hat can be any of these colours except white.
Savage should be fine shape for the winter and a quick wipe next spring and it'll be ready to go.
