HOW TO CLEAN A PRECISION RIFLE LIKE A PRO

[@mikeriksheim1087]

Ryan Cleckner had a good video about this as well. The big thing that I incorporated from it is to keep wet patches in a small jar. When using solvent on the brush, pour it over the patches as you add more. Super easy an much less mess

[@SkuseyBoy]

i was really paying attention until you got the $100 bill toilet roll out then i was laughing hysterically

[@101ablerudeboy]

Thanks for this! Your videos got me into long range shooting and i just bought my first bolt action a few weeks ago and I'm giving it it's first cleaning today

[@damianmoskos2299]

Also struggled with copper fouling until i used sweets copper solvent it works great

[@jineeshpr]

Thanks for this. I followed the same and looks super clean after around 200 rounds of shooting

[@neelsmuller3716]

I use Hoppes no 9 to remove powder fouling first, clean with spirits, then dry patch, then remove copper with Sweets7.62 until patch come out clean, then spirits again ,then dry patch, then BREAKFREE gun oil

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

I have not watched this yet. Should be a short video, because pros don’t clean their rifles. LOL Joking of course. I appreciate your content man!

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Hahaha, I actually mention that in the vid. Heard Jake just shoots until he needs a new barrel 🤯

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Piet Skiet that wouldn’t surprise me. Ha

[@KrokVanDerMerwe]

Yes, i get it. The bronz or brass brush does way more damage than the bullet that screams down the barrel. Yes great tip thanks

[@lukelobelkarimi4631]

What company did you buy the bore guide from and the the bore guide rod

[@glenpaul3606]

Brass and bronze is much softer than barrel steel and have been demonstrated to not harm the barrel in any way. Nylon brushes will not clean as well.

[@swarmar3085]

Look at David Tubb gold dust... since I started using it, I just clean my rifles for fun.

[@renosnutzz8592]

Hey what rod are you using I can’t find any good rods to clean with ???

[@drakkondarkblood6638]

I run a Krieger Barrel in my target rifle and follow John Krieger's cleaning method for his barrels during my shooting season. (he doesn't clean them lol). I do however clean and oil at then end of the season because the rifle is going to be stored for a few months.

[@carllarsson8020]

happy with it? im getting one next week for my 308

[@Kidd94_]

Have this exact barrel. Can you link your cleaning kits for me so I may purchase them

[@martinheuser4781]

Fouling is good for tight groups. It is better to clean the barrel only after the groups fall apart. After cleaning the first 20 rounds can be all over tour target.

[@StuninRub]

That is only true when your barrel is out of spec. Clean and cold bore is when a barrel is most accurate.

[@peter1873]

Just curious,do you still clean your barrel the way you did when u made this video?

[@freedomisgolf5816]

I use nylon brushes and aluminium attachments when cleaning my rifle also I use Methylated Spirits to clean in between on all brushes and attachments what’s your thoughts 💭

[@markfung5654]

I do the same. I clean all my brushes etc. With methylated spirits. I feel that I want to start my next clean with clean brushes. This way I know if my barrel is dirty. And not my brushes are dirty.

[@allmightyballs6868]

1. That's one sexy rifle 2. Any nylon brushes you recommend? I'm trying to find a good set for all my guns 3. How often do you copper clean on the 6.5 vs other calibers, like 22? I know a lot of guys who don't clean & will burn out barrels first. They say it keeps the gun more/true accurate but does reduce longevity/increased risk depending on the action

[@Matt-pz3ug]

Would you be able to make a section for cleaning on your “my gear” page?

[@Scooter22284]

Awesome video. But why did you not cover your scope glass before spraying cleaner?! That will ruin good glass quickly

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Good point!

[@brianstrayer9775]

Serious question. I'm new to guns and just bought a factory new Savage Arms .270 bolt action rifle, should I field strip and clean the rifle before I shoot if or would a dry nylon bore brush or boresnake down the barrel to clear out any dust or small metal burrs be enough?

[@Stev777]

Good video! What barrel do you use and which contour?

[@nilescoyote4829]

I clean my 6.5 bore any time it has been exposed to moisture or 4-5 hundred rounds. My 6mm bores I'll send a couple hoppies #9 coated patches down after each match then drive home (3-5 hour trip) and then patch it till dry. I'm using coated Dtac's in that bore and I don't see much if any copper with a borecam.

[@TheMotorcycleBoss]

What is your opinion on the perspective that barrels have a sweet spot regarding fouling where the groups tighten up lets say 40-120rds or so. Many avid shooters and ex-military snipers have said this and I am curious on your thoughts.

[@schalkvs]

Piet, do you still use thorroclean after all this time?

[@geraldkoch394]

What about cleaning the chamber? I have the exact same set up I believe it looks the same anyway but I have Big horn arms action and diamond tech Traeger Area419 Muzzle on mine

[@rorylocal]

Anything tricky / critical or important to know when cleaning Suppressors or Muzzle Breaks? Or is Sonic Cleaning the only way to go? Thanks man.

[@born2beashooterjosh397]

@IMPACT SHOOTING how would you advise someone to fix a flawed crown on a precision rifle??

[@proyectomer]

Hi Piet, I am from Argentina, and have a question about something you mentioned in this video. You said that you clean your rifle always after you finished your shooting, in order to find your barrel in the same way you left it last time you use it, and you zero your rifle for that first shot. Usually the first shot from a clean cold bore barrel has slower speed because of lack of copper and powder fouling, and the next shots increase speed until the barrel is consistent; Suppose that you go for hunting, do you go with your gun to make a fisrt CCB shot, or you take some shotsbefore the hunting in order to keep your muzzle velocity and groups consistent? If I am asking something wrong, feel free to correct me, I am knew in this subject, and I don´t undestand it properly yet. Thanks in advance

[@gautherau]

Thoughts on Bore snake?

[@jpbotha3343]

Hi Piet, were can we get those cleaner

[@simonprinsloo8228]

Hi. Would you mind giving the details of the guys who printed the NRL shirts? Thanks

[@deerphoria4314]

I took off my muzzle brake to clean and noticed the crown is caked with carbon after 400 rounds. How can I clean the crown safely without damaging it? Do you have a video demonstrating how to clean the crown?

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

good questions and opportunity for a video, thanks. will add it to the list

[@hollyspikeonethreenine2581]

I have been looking into bore guides for my Lithgow LA101 .22 lr Rimfire. Universal guides like it looks like you have all seem to state .22 Centerfire guide. The Rimfire guides i have looked at are all custom and shaped the same as the bolt leaving the magazine area exposed to the cleaning solvents and oils. What style guide do you use for your rimfire rifles? I have found a bolt style guide from Lowey Products for my rifle.

[@calliepretorius3575]

Hi Piet, great video and thanks for a few tips. Just a question. The HBN alcohol paste to push through the barrel before shooting. What is the ratio of the mix between the 2 products. Thanks

Dude- love the content and you are hilarious!

[@dan_voges177]

Awesome video thanks! Appreciate your content! One question, does copper fouling have a part to play with accuracy? Like you I’ve herd a lot of pros don’t even clean there barrels but recently found with a clean bore with my howa 1500 6.5 creed it shoots .5 moa groups at 100 couldn’t be happier but after about 50 rounds i checked my zero and the groups start opening up? So confused to what’s happening. Rifles only had 200 rounds through it since new.

[@zanderswart6828]

Hi Dan voges. Have you ever resolved the matter why your group started opening after 200 shots. Was it copper fouling ?

[@lucahenning5135]

How big are the pathes?

[@Thamac15]

Am I the only one who has rifles shoot better when they’re cleaned every shooting session? I get all copper carbon and powder fouling out after every session which normally is 30-45 rounds.

[@phildoleebowitz5335]

Absolutely nothing wrong with brass brushes. I dont know who told you that they are bad but thats a huge misconception. I have never gotten the results i wanted with a nylon brush compared to brass.

[@martinburnett3852]

Reasoning for not wanting to use a bronze brush?

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

I dont want to put anything hard down there other than bullets 👍🏼

[@billyaitken1713]

Piet's got it right. You want carbon fibre cleaning rods, bore guides & as few abrasive or hard materials altering your rifling, crown etc if you're running a precision rifle. Check out Tiborasaurus Rex on rifle cleaning if you've got any doubts about what Piet's doing 😎👍

I like your videos very much, I was wondering, what cleaner do you use, "Thorough clean" mentioned at 5:12? I cant seem to find the product online. If you can send me the link to buy it or something, thank you and I love your sight.

[@lukelobelkarimi4631]

@Dirk Coetzee Thank you, Im trying to find out what company he uses to buy the Bore Guide and Cleaning Rod. I ordered the Rod for my Ruger .300 Win Mag from Tipton. Its the Delux one. They discontinued the brand, and you have to go through Brownells. They also have a Tech Department, which offers different advice than just from one source. Next, I ordered the Bore Guide from a company called Bore Tech, they are very good, but throw a lot of knowledge at you that you cant tell if they are as good as they say or just trying to sell you a product. They are for sure more expensive, I havent bought any of the solvents, but I was told by the Brownells tech department to try Bore Techs copper remover for the Barrel. I want to us hoppes 9 gun oil for the Bolt. One of my last and hopefully last problems is the length of the rod, this means the barrel of the Ruger is 26 inches, and than you are looking at a chamber that is 14 inches. So that is 40, but you want a inch or two for the bore guide, I went with the 50 inch. Hopefully that was too long

[@johanwiese8665]

When you are using HBN, does it scrub out completely when you clean your rifle?

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Yup

[@Terry80801]

[@stantopp5874]

Me being lazy I get good results from foaming bore cleaner and G96 all in one oil

[@jeffreylowry4291]

I've never understood the need for nylon brushes. One bullet forced down the bore at 60,000 psi will do more damage than a bronze brush could do in a lifetime.
