I've been shooting all my life but sometimes I feel like I've missed a few fundamentals along the way. I just received a new rifle and I really want to do things right.
I have a standard cleaning rod, brushes, patches, etc. I don't have a bore guide and I think it may be a good idea. I've been cleaning rifles before wondering if I was doing damage to the chamber or crown. How many of you use a bore guide? Do you have a favorite brand?
What are some other tips you can share on rifle cleaning, more specifically, the bore?
Also I haven't shot it yet and I need to get a "copper solvent". Can someone recommend a good brand?
