Guys, as you know the purchase of a any weapon is just the beginning of the adventure. With it comes the accessories necessary to "care for and feed" the beast. In my case I am formulating a budget for two rifles, which will be my first as I only own handguns at this time. I am also a hand loader so I already have a decent sized bench in which to work.
I am looking for direction on two principal pieces of hardware; stand/rest in which to service the weapon and the cleaning mechanisms.
Do I require a bench rest/rifle stand/etc. in order to maintain the weapon? If so, suggestions? I am only planning on using a rest for the purpose of maintaining the weapon, won't be doing any bench rest shooting.
What type of cleaning devices do you find the most efficient? A standard ram-rod cleaning kit or a soft "bore snake?" Or both? Or something else?
If it matters, I am constructing a budget for a Hi Point 9mm carbine and a .357 lever rifle - not sure which brand yet - research is still under way. The carbine will be my first purchase with the lever some time down the road.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you.
