Me too, one pull with the snake, last six inches sprayed with a touch of 3 in 1, then into the cupboard.
Dry patch and mop out chamber with brake cleaner just prior to packing for next shoot.

My rifles get cleaned ( wipeout, plastix brush and patches ) after every use. Whether one round or one hundred rounds fired.

On my .22s only the action and muzzle ( and integral suppressor ) get cleaned.

I clean mine every 1000 rounds even if it doesn't need cleaning.

Black powder guns do get cleaned after use.

My 10/22 and Marlin underlever used to get cleaned once a year, just before Phoenix... but not the barrels, just the actions to try to make sure they didn't jam..
