Mesa, a rifle should be cleaned after every 20 rounds but a lot of folks just clean after each trip to the range. This is how I clean a rifle after firing. Run a wet patch with Hoppe's #9 through the barrel and let set for 10 minutes. Then take another wet patch and make 20 passes (10 in, 10 out)followed by 3 dry patches and finally a lightly oiled patch. I use plain old Hoppe's gun oil. The best rods are one piece rods and you should use a bore guide to protect the muzzle. George
