I too am a cleaning freak. During the season as a rule the only cleaning I do is preventative, oil & lube, run a oil patch after wet conditions, etc. All other times I strip it down after each shooting session. Meaning copper removal. IME somerifles require some copper fouling while others do not, so I let the firearm/past experiencedictate the procedure for the hunting season.

Only exception is a ML I clean it thoroughly after ever outing.
