SportingShooter 0 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 What type of rifle are we talking about, Rimfire or Centrefire? And what Calibre? Not that calibre will matter an awful lot. SS Quote Link to post

The barrel will need sensible cleaning, as almost all the ammo is copper coated and fast (compared with a .22LR)..so barrel breaking in will happen, but not quite like a centrefire. I know lots of people rate boresnakes but they are not a magical cleaning solution, a proper bore clean will always do a better job! It is all a matter of degrees though...if you want to, then go mad and do a REALLY good job, but general good housekeeping is really all you need!! PS Think that is what I sad about the 20g, Remington and Sirrocco Quote Link to post
