Hello! I am new to the world of shotguns; got my first this past Christmas. I'm a big guy at 6 ft 5 in and most familiar with handguns or rifles. But my local outdoor range added a five-stand option and my bro-in-law lent me his Remington pump so I got hooked. Wanted my own and knew someday I'd spend more, but felt my first should be a pump that I was familiar with. Got a great deal at a gun show on a Benelli Supernova in camo for under four hundred dollars. It's got the long barrel and the fiber optic front sight I like. The camo was a bonus.
My question is how often should I clean my shotgun? Every weekend it'll see 75 to 100 shells. Cleaning the barrel with a bore snake is easy since it's already in two pieces. I've yet to drop the trigger assembly group out and clean it though. Should I every weekend or maybe less frequently, once a month? Just wondering what you with more experience do. Thanks for any tips.
