Bought a Tikka T3 Varmint .223 with the HMR proceeds. Been shooting it over the weekend with my new Vortex Viper scope:

You will always get a debate when you suggest that.

 

Clean barrels (as long as they are sound and true) will always shoot better than dirty barrels.

 

The problem is, in my opinion, society today expects instant results, many think a quick scrub and mop do the job, they don't, that will often make things worse and raise fouling, and leads to this all too common, "never clean it, I did and it took me 50 shots to get it shooting again". If you clean, be prepared to devote time to it and do it properly, how many clean this well, with a scrub between each?..........

Top row R-L, bottom row L-R

 

You may well be best to never clean rather than do half a job, but if you do it right the barrel will last, it will not change zero and it will be more accurate.

 

Ask any target shooter if he cleans or just leaves the barrel to get filthy!
