Thread: Rifle cleaning 101 - school me!

Lots of differing info and opinions on the net.

I have mostly blued firearms and clean after every hunt or day on the range, unless I'm heading out again the next day.
If the rifle hasn't been fired, an oiled patch down the bore and wipe down rest with oily rag. My one stainless rifle just gets the outside wipe.
If has been fired, usually a quick brush, then Hoppes solvent patch followed a bit later by dry patch. Repeat the solvent and dry patch another time or two if necessary. Oiled patch as above.
Before heading off to the range or bush, I run a boresnake through to remove excess oil.
Copper remover very occasionally (once every couple of years).
