you almost never clean it... the barrel you mean. but the bolt ?
Not even on precision rifles. I have been on various rifle teams shooting match grade .22's, M-16's and M14/M1A1's. We never cleaned them only once a year or after all the matches for that year had been completed. We found cleaning affected accuracy.
I too, hardly ever clean mine, but I do lube before shooting and clean the extractor if I start to get FTEs. If cleaning after every range trip is your thing, and gives you a warm and fuzzy, then go for it.
