I shoot it and when I'm done....unless I somehow got caught in a downpour, the gun will be put in the gun safe for the next outing. I may apply some CLR to the action or the outside of the barrel.....but I do NOTHING to the inside of the bore.

I will give the bore a good scrubbing 'n cleaning at the end of a varmit season, and run a heavy patch of CLR down it when I store it for the next varmit season.

But....once the season starts, the bore doesn't see a cleaning patch until the end of the season....or unless I get drenched in a summer storm.
