I would wipe my rifle down with food grade silicone spray. It will protect it, and does not have much of a smell at all.

It's a great CLP. It has a smell, it's just a pleasant one. Been using it for 30 years. Works great and may or may not attract certain types of mammals.

Did you remove any patches, rags, or other items that stink out of the room?

And doesn't it smell good.
Yes indeed! I keep the reloading room very clean. All cleaning rags and patches get thrown out as soon as I am finished.
The sent-a-way seems to work but need more time to see for sure.

Not wrong, been using it for years! Even a dab or two of Hoppes #9 behind the ears before heading out to the watering hole at night.

Axe Body spray, of course.
I have air fresheners hanging in the gun/reloading room. They look like Hoppes bottles and smell like it too. when the smell wears off, I just pour a little more Hoppes on them. The smell reminds me of cleaning guns with my grandpa. Of course grandma used to say keep that in the other room, it stinks.
If it smells like perfume, leave the room; if it smells like fish, it's a tasty dish
Oops, did you say firearms?

If you wipe it down with corn oil, is that considered baiting?
Or…be like the kids and hang 10 of those black ice pine trees off the barrel. It seems to do well in their cars.
