I'll bet your head is spinning from all this advice.

Just remember things like bronze brushes wear out so replace them often as it will save time when cleaning your rifle. When you use copper solvents, they will break down the copper in the brushes alloy so a couple nylon brushes and a no-trace jag will be handy.
For cleaning my 308 I have this in the kit,
1. A bronze brush plus a couple spare.
2. A couple nylon bore brushes.
3. One piece cleaning rod.
4. One brass jag and one no-trace jag (no-trace for applying copper solvent)
5. Roll of cotton material to cut my own patches from
If you use bronze or brass components to apply and remove copper solvent you will get false copper reading, hence the no-trace jag and nylon brush for the applying/swabbing out copper solvent.

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.

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)
