[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 841065, member: 11717"] Marcel, Welcome to LRH? Most rifles will have a POI shift from clean to fouled bores. To minimize that, I try not to clean until needed... i.e. bore gets dirty or accuracy starts falling off. After cleaning, if I intend to use the rifle in the field for hunting or what ever, I will foul the bore and check zero. At that point there should be no shift in cold bore shots. If there is, there may be a problem with action bedding or scope mounts, etc. In the last year or so, I have come to the same way of thinking as your friend who recommends not cleaning the bore completely free of copper and carbon... unless I plan to put it up for a long period of time. Cheers [/QUOTE]
