Left mine in a blind from Nov. 15 till Dec 22 last year in all kinds of weather, rain, snow, fog, and sun. At the end of 38 days fired at knothole on tree at 216 yds. and missed by about an inch. I use a barrel condom and lubed wool wads for moisture barrier and leave primer module in with bolt closed, module with dead primer for over night storage.

Based off my freezer test I know I can leave it in there for 26 hours and it still goes off. No wad, just finger cots over the barrel. I won't leave them overnight, but thats just my OCD. It gets shot when I come of of the woods.

I have left mine loaded for close to a year. I tag it ( loaded or unloaded ) when it goes back in the safe, at the end of the season. It has always gone off, when I start back shooting.

Keep your rifle in a cool dry place and it would probably fire 200 years from now.

If I'm hunting with it I usually won't go beyond a week before I fire it and reload, if it's rainy and damp sooner.
Now based on some of the other members seems you can go a lot longer however it's just peace of mind for me.
When the moment of truth comes I want to make sure it go's BANG.
Good luck.
