I don't clean either until accuracy drops off or it gets wet. I live in a very dry climate so I have that luxury without having to worry about humidity. I do wipe down my rifles before they go back into the safe with a silicone gun cloth. I think too often we over think the whole process just like barrel brake-in, just do what you think is right. I wouldn't say one way or the other is better.
