Rifle Cleaning

On the "old" Forum, there was an archived thread on various rifle cleaning methods. I assume it is gone. So I would be interested in how some of you clean your trusty shootin' iron after a day at the range.
My method:
I sop my bore with a patch soaked with 2 in 1 Bore Scrubber, let it set for about 10 minutes. Work it with a brush for about 30-35 strokes and then run patches through it til they come out clean. I follow that with a swab with a little Sheath on it and then put her away til next time. Then the next time at the bench, before I fire my first shot, I run a couple of patches through it to remove the Sheath and begin shooting.
