[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1625513, member: 313"] My club is a 3 hour drive from where I live. It's fairly easy for me to run a few wet patches through the bore(s) after a range session and to let the solvent sit in the barrel for the ride home. A quick clean up when I get home is fairly easy. I do not strip to "bare metal" as some shooters do. I typically use BoreTech Eliminator as a primary solvent which can be left in the bore if I don't get to the rifles right away. I would agree that different regiments seem to work for different rifles/shooters. One of my buddies admitted that he hadn't cleaned his .308 Win model 70 in many, many years. It still shot acceptably for hunting. It took me two weeks of daily attention to get it completely clean. Accuracy did improve but he wasn't impressed. Different strokes ............... [/QUOTE]
