How often should you and do you deep clean your rifle barrels ?
I have a couple of my trusty old Tikka T3 Tacticals one in 300 Win Mag the other in 308.
These are the heavy factory barrels with , i think , factory brakes on them .
I,ve had them both for approx 12 years now .
I'm guessing i have put at least a couple of thousand rounds per rifle ,down the barrels .
Usual process for me is just to run the brush through the barrels 3 times after a morning shooting and a patch , that's it .
They shoot so well im really leary to deep clean them but i would rather do it now if then have problems surface later .
