Yes I would clean it before you shoot it to get any oil or metal shavings out I would run a patch with cleaning solvent through it and a few dry ones. The you should be ready to fire.
:yeah:

i dunno if you necisarely NEED to. but every rifle i buy, new or used, first thing i do is clean is really good, and make sure no parts are missing. i even clean guns that were cleaned before they were sent to me (used ones).
Wait a second, you make it sound like you buy guns on a regular basis, yet you just posted a topic titled: "new rifle. need to sight it in, and have no idea how to"
So with all the experience cleaning guns you've never had to sight one in until now ???

the new rifle i bought is my 5th rifle, i have 9 guns, i just never put a scope on any of them, and all the huntinh i ever did was using a shotgun so it doesn't get sighted in, lol, but now that i have something to shootcoyotes from a long distance away, i need to learn about sighting it in. ;)
