How Often Should You Clean Your Rifle?
The frequency with which you should clean your rifle will depend on several factors, such as the type of rifle, the ammunition you use, and the shooting conditions. However, as a general rule of thumb, you should clean your rifle after every 100 rounds fired or so. If you shoot your rifle in particularly dirty or wet conditions, you may need to clean it more often.
