I only shoot stainless guns so after that sighting treatment I give it, the bore gets cleaned (blown out 😂🤣) with every kill shot. I clean the bore maybe once every 2 years, the rifle maybe 6 years.

A blued gun looks 100 years old with me in about one season.

I pay no attention to torque specs on mounts and optics, its crank the piss out of it for me.
