I see no reason to clean the bore of a gun unless and until accuracy degrades.
This, or once a year whichever come first.

4runnerman said:OMG-- 1000 rounds between cleaning on a rifle?. That's just not right. Do you drive 10,000 mile on your oil in your car before you change?.
Your accuracy has not gone totally to pot by then?. More power to ya buddy.
My OCD would kill me.
Since rapid-firing is likely to cause throat erosion, I never do that at the range, period. There's no rational reason for it. I'm a knowledgeable shooter who cares about his equipment, not the 'rifleman'.
as for oil In your car, I also have a 2006 Subaru with a bad head gasket. I use Mobile synthetic oil to,but I still change it every 5000 miles. My test to you is
change your oil,Mark your mileage with new oil (mpg) and then do the same test after you have 12,000 miles on it. I bet you mpg is lower.
