[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 1626042, member: 108777"] When I was young I would clean my rifle every time I used it. I had been reading that the long range shooters/snipers would rarely clean their rifles. With the less corrosive powders and coated bullets the bores rarely get dirty. Rifles wise, I find that pistols actions get dirty within 50 ~ 70 rounds. I clean my 338LM in January, or if the accuracy begins to fall. It takes ten to twenty rounds before it all settles down. I do pull my bolt, clean it, oil it more often. My other rifles I treat the same, excepting the 22LR and WMR, black powder has its issues. [/QUOTE]
