[QUOTE="Axl, post: 1290179, member: 90110"] welcome and congrats on the rifle Plenty of stuff online about barrel break in. just clean before you shoot then after each of the first 3 to 5 then every 5 for about 20 or so. my first 15 rifles were before i had ever heard of this and i shot some 100+ times before the first cleaning and they all are fine. More important is while you are cleaning it lets the barrel cool some. Overheating will ruin a barrel. Find a load your gun likes and stick with it for everything. Just shoot as often as possible and dont take shots farther than you have successfully made during practice. The weight of the bullet wont matter if you miss. Last thing get that 5 year old out in the woods! [/QUOTE]
