[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 530298, member: 30902"] I never go into the field with a clean gun. After I do clean one I'll always foul it back up with at least three shots, then check zero/sight in. At most I'll then blow it out with some carbureto cleaner, let it dry, and then lube it and patch it and put it away. Since you can't gurantee a clean bore for follow up shots and you won't be cleaning between shots while sighting in/checking zero the barrel isn't going to be consistent after cleaning. Remember you want your bore in the same condition it was in when you fired your last round zeroing/checking zero otherwise your POI may move significantly. [/QUOTE]
