It needs to be run in like a centre fire mate, its firing a very small copper jacketed bullet, at very high speed indeed, it will also require regular cleaning. Cz,s etc tend to need cleaning at 40 - 50 rounds to keep them sweet, whereas a better quality barrel like an Anschutz will go a little longer between fettlings. You will tell, the accuracy just drops right off.

I have heard that .17's need a clean after ten rounds, I do not do this but clean after every use. Trust me on this though, get a Dewy http://www.deweyrods.com/dealer.htm cleaning rod, they are the dogs nuts :clapper:

 

Its a tiny bore and I would pay the money for the best, there brushes are very good quality and fit the bore well, good luck with it mate. You will be impressed with its accuracy and its ability to do the job properly, I tested mine the other night and it kills VERY humanely. I was going to put pic's up but they were a bit too nasty :wacko:

 

Ta Ta Sick :sick:

Yep, dewey rods are the best, its like driving a ferrari, at the side of a mini, they glide through the bore, and make cleaning a pleasure, instead of a chore, but they arent cheap, the best never is.
