[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 527207, member: 10291"] I agree with RT2506. I only clean my hunting rifles at the end of the season if periodic accuracy tests show no change. I do this because if they sit in the off season with copper in the barrel, it oxidizes. I have a friend that shoots competition with numerous first place wins. He shot a .25MOA 223 Savage that he never cleaned until he saw a loss in accuracy at over 3000 rounds. He then cleaned it but the accuracy never returned. I generally clean my competition rifles at 150 -200 rounds. Just habit, the would very likely go longer. I do make sure I do a proper break in on a new rifle or barrel. I never clean my 22 rim fires. When I have, it almost always took a box of ammo to get the accuracy back. [/QUOTE]
