Hey, I was wondering how often I should clean the barrel of my rifle (CZ 457) and if I need to wash to boresnake, and if so, how often? Thanks!

I own an AT-ONE, I'll run a wet (CLP) patch, followed by a swab at the range when I notice my groupings opening up.

I'm lazy and rarely clean my other firearms but 22 being so dirty I'll removed the bolt and run a wet jag followed by a dry patch and call it a day.
