[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1031920, member: 79106"] For cleaning I have settled on Hoppes elite foaming cleaner. I squirt a little in my bore guide (another must have), swab it thru, let it sit for 5 minutes then run a couple dry patches thru. Usually a couple times and it's good. For copper I use Barnes CR10 or Montana Extreme. I always run a final swab with a light amount of Hoppes #9. [B]NOTE:[/B] Be careful with the Hoppes elite as it will remove blueing. I found out the hard way it will also remove duracoat on the bottom side of the muzzle brake if you forget to wipe it off. :rolleyes: You will develop your own checklist over time. Wind, sight picture, parallax, cheek weld, cant, breathing, squeeze. I nearly always shoot with a bipod and a rear sandbag as this is what I will most likely use in the field. Sometimes with a Sinclair front rest and rear bag. Hill Country has a great reputation. Have fun and keep us updated. gun) [/QUOTE]
