    Lubing

    LOL is that even a word? So I have had my Precision Rifle for a while but only shot it a few times. I' am unfamiliar with lube points vs grease points on the weapons. Could someone help me with what parts to use which on? I have been using straight gun oil on the bolt during use but I want to grease up the grease points now it's been owned long enough I think. I own a Savage Ashbury.

    I use 3 in 1 oil on the bolt areas that it slides on, wipe all the metal down with oil if your using or going to store it including wetting the bore down with oil. HTH

      No grease points on the Ashbury.
      Oil the moving points on the bolt.
      If you want separate the barreled action from the chassis and you can access the pivot points for the trigger and lightly oil those.
      I usually just use air to blow out the dust.
      Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
      I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

        I was thinking about the trigger for grease actually but didn't really wanna risk fkin anything up it's a great trigger and I don't really want to pull it off the chassis.

              Oil is for continuously rotating bearings.

                This is what I do. Just a very small amount and smooth it around with a finger tip.

                  A lot of precision rifle shooters suggest not oiling the trigger.

                  Clean with Ronsonol (zippo lighter fluid, which is, for the most part, Naptha), and allow to dry. It will leave enough lubrication to keep things from galling, but not be as dust attracting as oiling.
