Hoppe's BoreSnake Bore Cleaner

Deer Tech

When I first read the description of the Bore Snake on the Cabela's website, I thought "Oh sure!".

According to Cabela's..."The Bore Snake is definitely the world's fastest bore cleaner. Crafted with a series of built-in brushes, it combines all the cleaning processes into one simple step, effectively cleaning your bore in a single pass. First, an initial floss area brushes the action then removes loose grit and debris in the bore prior to the main scrubbing. Finally, the main floss, with 160 times more floss than a standard cleaning patch, super-scrubs the bore to a mirror-like finish. Brass-weighted drop-through cord slips easily down the barrel, simply grasp and pull cord through the barrel - one pull through does it all. Lightweight and compact, it's easy to take to even the most remote hunting destination. There's no exposed metal to damage the rifling or crown, and no assembly is required. And it is solvent safe, washable and reusable hundreds of times. Available for rifles, shotguns"

But, I thought "what the heck" so I ordered one for my 20 gauge shotgun. Wow, was I surprised! It worked, it really worked!

Not only did it work, the Bore Snake made quick work of what can be a real chore sometimes. I simply put some solvent on the brush part and a little gun oil on the flossie part after the brush part and the gun barrel was clean as a whistle.

I was so enamored with the bore snake that I bought one for every gun I own. No more screwing together the little rod thingies, no more patches that don't stay in the little part that is supposed to hold them, or changing from the bristle end to the patch holder end. It was "no fuss, no muss and no bother", as my Gram used to say.

The Bore Snake is definitely a time-saver and a great product.
