[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1625522, member: 39764"] I use BTE exclusively and I clean prior to but send a fouling shot before I go on a hunt. When I get back before I put the stick away, I clean it and oil it. I always bore scope any tube with my Hawkeye. Amazing how much fouling builds up in the rifling. Do the same with handguns as well. Any tube that sends a gilded pill will accumulate fouling. Nice thing about a Hawkeye is you can inspect the lands for erosion, see the fouling and look at chambers for machining defects. It's a required tool for me. I use an electronic bore scope when I'm looking at used firearms. Amazing what you can see and the price becomes much more negotiable when you point out issues. Use borescopes for other non firearm related things too, like looking at combustion chambers in engines, and looking in blind recesses when machining parts. Also handy for looking in walls for electrical and plumbing hidden from view. [/QUOTE]
