The cleaning continues,

I then clean all the solvent and cleaning compounds from the muzzle, the Chamber and locking lug recess on bolt actions rifles (see Sinclair International for a "Lug Recess" cleaning tool). I then push a patch wet with Alcohol(Methylated Spirits) through the bore to confirm the removal and neutralization of the chemical solvent. Once this has evaporated away (use a Hair Dryer to assist evaporation in Winter).
I then Push a clean patch wet with "Sweets Gun Oil" ( same maker as "7.62 Solvent") through the bore and put the rifle away in storage. If I'm heading out for a shot, or handing a firearm back to its owner, I patch out the Bore and Chamber of the rifle with 2 or 3 clean patches, and off I go. By doing this, I have removed the excess oil from the bore but there still remains a thin film of oil to protect the bore and chamber from corrosion in wet weather or conditions of high humidity.

Don't forget to put a small drop of heavy oil or grease on each of the Bolt Locking Lugs to lubricate them.
