I would like to hear from top competitors or the competition gunsmiths on their techniques and procedures for cleaning and servicing an Anschutz SSP air rifle including schedules, i.e. Daily, Annually, at blank round count etc; Bores, Air System etc.

I will let others more experienced with the rifle comment in detail. But you should be doing nothing to the rifle daily, other than superficially wiping it down.

Rob is right, on a daily or weekly bases depending on how often you handle the gun, wipe down all metal work especially where your fingers and hands have touched with a silicone gun cloth such as Birchwood Casey cleaning cloth.
Do not put any oil near the breech area or internal mechanism.
Anschutz recommend to clean the barrel with a pull through rather than shooting felt pellets through it. Check the owners hand book for cleaning and maintenance instructions.
