FIrst off after shooting the gun ...I run 3 patches one way from breech with shooters choice,Butches,Montana extreme(take your pick) then I run a bronze cleaning brush ten times down the bore. I use a Stoney Point guide. I run another wet patch to get rid of brush crud then run an oversize wet patch on a loop thru the chamber/barrel 2x and then run 2 dry ones from chamber/ barrel. After bore is completely dry I then put Wipeout foam in the bore and let it sit for an hour. I then run patches thru until clean. I use Butches gun oil on the bore and run 2 oil patches thru it and one dry patch. Clean out the bolt recesses with a q tip and cloth. Spray bolt with Remoil and wipe off excess . Clean extractor area and lugs and use shooters choice bolt grease on lugs. At beginning of season I clean out the trigger with bore cleaner and a canned air bottle and then use remoil to lubricate it as per manufacturers recommendations. My guns look brand new even after years of use except for the occasional well earned ding.
