Gun Cleaning Basics: How To Clean a Bolt-Action Rifle

In this video Otis Technology Brand Ambassador, Nikki Boxler (‪@MapleFarmer‬) explains the importance of gun care and why cleaning from breech to the muzzle is the preferred method of hunters and recreational shooters like her. Nikki also demonstrates the Otis 3-Step Gun Cleaning process that was pioneered over 35 years ago by the gun cleaning professionals at Otis Technology; as well as basic preventative maintenance for your bolt-action rifle(s). The cleaning method demonstrated in this video was used to clean Nikki's personal firearm; a Winchester Model 70 chambered in .270 Caliber; and this method can be applied most bolt-action rifles, to keep them looking like new and running smoothly for years to come.

Great video! I’m a solid rod fan or cable when I’m able to. The pull through bore cleaners are great to keep in my pack.

Nikki is one of my favs, she is an awesome woman!

[@mnrodriguez]

Great!

Nikki are you left handed with right hand setup? An important base for young folks learning to hunt is to know their dominant eye. I learned this late in life and for years hated my terrible aim. I’m left eye dominant and right handed and a partial reason I struggled. Thus new hunter fundamentals really need to know and learn from their dominant eye. Just my experience.

I have your equipment but on my bench I still prefer a rod.
