This was my concern, however also was unsure if cleaning it everytime would mean it needed fouling before it hit accuracy again, my only other rim fire is a jw15 and I've never cleaned that and it's still as accurate or better than when I bought it, my 270wsm on the other hand gets cleaned fastidiously everytime I use it.
This is why I ask not because what I have done so far works.
