I've stored my guns in the basement (Edmonton) for fifteen years now, never have had rust issues. That being said, to be safe I run a oiled patch through them after most shooting sessions.
As to a thorough cleaning...we are at the range probably twice a month April-Oct. We are fairly frugal shooters, usually putting no more than 25-50 round through a session. We give the bores a good scrubbing twice a year and have never notices any accuracy falloff.
Handguns are different matter because they're so darned much fun to shoot...going through 100 rounds in a session is pretty easy, so they get cleaned more frequently.
