Is there anything that's a bigger pain in the butt than taking one apart and cleaning it after shooting it several times?

Not cleaning it and having it rust up???LOL
They can be a pain. Mine isn't to bad, takes about 20 minutes. My boys CVA is a pain!! Have to remove  the stock to get the trigger guard down to
pull the bolt and breech. That's a pain!!!

get any newer style one they make nowadays and cleaning can be done in 5 mins. It will be the best money youve ever spent

I feel your pain...last year got my first in-line gun...sure makes it better and faster to clean...before the in-line I was using a 1850 Lancaster (semi-custom), it is 54" long with full stock and that was a 2/3 hour job. From what I have seen, I think the ff/fff powder cleans up better than the pellets...hunts2long

I've got a Thompson Center Contender G2 .45 cal. It's never had a pellet in it only loose powder. Started with Triple 7 and immediately switched to Blackhorn 209 when it came out. There is nothing else to use period!!!!! Shoot 15 or 20 shots no swabbing between shots cleans up like a dream.

I've never minded cleaning them. A flush tube and jug of soapy water will speed up the process.
