never??? My god Man... I cleaned a rifle for a mate that had never had the bore cleaned out and it was pitted and rough as guts. It was a Howa only shot 2-2.5moa when I re sighted it for him.. hey if it works for you that's great but if I spend $1000+ on a rifle I want it to shoot for as long a possible.
Well when I say never what I mean is I never use any solvents, once a month I run a few patches of Eezox through to avoid any rust, I also apply Eezox to the outside and bolt of the rifles and I've never had any problems with rust

Wow, your one lucky man i think.
Im gonna be cleaning mine after every use and i will be running in the barrel.
But I was told today from a guy at work that i cant go to rifle range to run my barrel in cause i dont have any sights (glass or iron)
Gonna have to ring them coz that sux if its true
Yeah nah whatever floats your boat, can't hurt to be careful
Man that's a bummer about needing sights to go
