I was thought to clean my guns every time I use them. That included my .22 LR. If I went in the woods and didn’t fire a shot my gun got cleaned anyway. I just can’t get my head around this not cleaning them until the accuracy drops off. I didn’t cleaned my .22 LR bolt gun the last two times I used it. I left the board dirty on my .22 LR semy auto last time I shot it but I could not NOT clean the action. I’ll shoot the 06 a few times without cleaning the boar and see what happens but it really goes against my nature to put a rifle away dirty.
