Welcome to Huntchat, DNAPicker.
Cleaning firearms is a big topic- and one where everyone has different methods and preferences.
First, for 22 rimfires, I clean them once a year...well, maybe, if I remember.
For a deer rifle that doesn't get shot often, I'll clean it after the trip or after the hunting season. I do wipe down the outside with an oily cloth much more often than that, of course.
For a varmint rifle or a rifle that I'm doing load testing with- where they get shot a lot, I'll clean them at the end of the day, usually.
