[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2201260, member: 78569"] I believe it depends on the gun. I had a .17 HMR that would foul and loose accuracy after about 30 rounds. We are talking about going from 1/4 MOA to 3/8 MOA. I'd run a bore snake through it and it would return to shooting 1/4 MOA. I was raised to clean a gun after each outing because the outings were few and far between and because of the potential for corrosion in a humid environment. It pains me to seen guns pulled out of closets that are green when you look down the barrel. I guess as long as it doesn't rust and it shoots well, you don't need to clean it. I have a friend who hits MOA sized steel at 1000 yards with a simple 308 that he hasn't cleaned it in over 1000 rounds. [/QUOTE]
