I have just been able to purchase a rifle that I have wanted for a long time. It is a Weatherby Accumark in .300 Wthby. When I bought it, the salesman said that no special break in was required. Is that correct? Other people have told me that a certain break-in is required. Also, how often should a person clean the bore of a rifle? I clean my other rifles after shooting 20 rounds or so. Can over cleaning cause a proble? I use shooters choice and nylon brushes. I was told that shooters choice would corrode brass brushes so I stopped using them. Any cleaning and maintenance tips would be appreciated.

THANKS!!!
