[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1199487, member: 30902"] Some good advice above. As a rule unless I'm putting them up for long term storage I will do minimlist cleaning. Maybe swab it a time or two with an oiled patch and that's about it following a day/days in the field or a little shooting. Even after a thorough cleaning the first chance I get I put 1-3 fouling shots through the pipe so it's "field ready". It would be a very rare rifle indeed that doesn't have a change in both velocity and POI after a few foulers so I don't take a thoroughly cleaned rifle on a hunt, ever. Depending on the rifle and caliber i'll only thoroughly clean them after 30-50 shots or, as mentioned above, if I notice a rifle is starting to lose accuracy or show any pressure signs on the brass.
