you need a cleaning brush that is the right size of the barrel..cleaning solvent on patches and dry cloth to dry it and oil...but you can buy a gun cleaning kit, but you have to buy calibur kit.

You can buy cleaning kits for any firearm extremely easily these days. Hopps has been around longer than i've been alive so i've always used that brand of cleaning kit. You can pick up their universal cleaning kit almost anywhere for about 15 bucks. It comes with everything you need regarding solvents and cleaners and lubricants. You can spend alot more money as with anything else to clean your rifle with but after a while you probably will get good at it and a cheap cleaning kit will do just fine. One thing to remember about cleaning your rifle is to resight it after you clean the inside of your barrel. You will find that sometimes when you clean out your bore that it doesn't shoot the same, that's because the grooves in the barrel have changed by you having cleaned them out. Another piece of advise is to clean your gun more often or at least lubricate it. That way during the off-season when you prepare yourself for shooting you won't have to work on it so hard.

all good answers above. heres a list...
1.Cleaning rod...brass not aluminum
2.hopp's no.9 solvent
3.patches,lots or patches
4.hopp's copper solvent if heavy fouling of barrel, or millitary surplus rifle
5.the right caliber brush, jag, and a "mop" comes in handy
6. rem oil (i prefer the drip kind not aresol)
Thats pretty much the bare essentials
you may also want a small nylon brush or old toothbrush to clean the action.
try to buy as much as you can in a KIT so it will save you money. hope this helps -K

Josh, Jack, More and Japan are all right. The only thing I can add is if you use a solvent, be sure not to get it on any nickle-plated parts.
Solvent will strip any metal plating it comes in contact with inside or outside of your gun barrel. I once ruined the nickel finish on a Mauser HSc that way.

buy a cleaning kit in the caliber of your gun,it has everything needed..i use wd40 sprayed on rag to wipe metal down after cleaning,let it dry. this will prevent rust from finger prints and rain the next time you use it. besure to wipe off any oil that gets on the wood..and place barrel down for a day or so to prevent oil in action from soaking into wood at back of action...oil makes wood soft and prone to splitting.

You probably should have thought about that before you boughtof shot the gun. It all dependes of the caliber any type. Most guns come with cleaning instructions so refer to them for help.

one of the easiest and quickest ways that i've found is to buy a bore-snake. it has the brass brush and cloth that you simply pull through your barrel after adding a bit of cleaner to the snake. check it out. about $15 and you can get it in any caliber for pistol, rifle, or shotgun.

Gun shops sell kits everything inclusive for the size (caliber) of your rifle. That's if you don't know what size patches to but, what solvent, etc.
