Hoppe's, Boresnake® - Shotguns Cleaner

I have Hoppe's Bore Snakes in sizes to fit every one of my firearms. They work in a pinch and are great to have in the field if you end up with dirt or debris in your barrel. They have saved me several times in the field. They are compact and fit easily into hunting bag/gear. They are also easy to clean.

These Boresnakes are one of the greatest inventions ever. With just a few passes this will get even the dirtiest barrel spotless. This is so easy to use, even a cavemen could do it. In fact I know a lot of Marines that do. I even used one of these to clean the snot out of a crappy Mosin Nagant barrel, and it practically polished the bore improving its groupings. Obviously the BoreSnakes for rifle and pistol calibers can be used on several similar sizes, and they work exceedingly well on all the sizes in their range. For a small investment you can own four or five of these and clean the barrel of practically every rifle you own. These last forever as well. I clean them by throwing in with the rags when I do laundry. I've yet to have one of the brass weights fall off in the dryer.

Love these Boresnakes - I took the time to watch a youtube video of a few different ways to use them... they're pretty intuitive, but I always like to learn what other gunners are doing to keep learning myself. They cut down the cleaning time and are gentle on the crown work, I've never had one break or leave fibers or brass bristles in the barrel, and they're way easier to pack in a bag when you're out for a few days. As someone who likes to keep things very well maintained - I've got to say I'm a fan.

It's a rope with a string and copper wire scrubbers It works as its supposed to. As long as you're regularly cleaning as you should it should do the job I think the quality is pretty good its the right size and completely straight forward to use.

Makes cleaning after a day at the range a quick job. No more assembling the rods, cutting the patches, threading the patches through the loop, etc. I spray some nitro solvent onto the section above the bristles and run it through about three times. I still run my oil through using a separate mop, but this works great for the quick cleaning. The only time I do not use it is when I really need to get the barrel ports wiped out which is a separate issue. I highly recommend the BoreSnake for anyone that needs to clean their shotguns. I have not found any cons to using this product.

This is a great product. Takes many minutes off your gun cleaning tasks. Also saves on supplies, such as patches, solvents, and other cleaners/lubricants. For people who shoot different guns and calibers the Boresnake makes cleaning a cinch. I use the Boresnake and the Boresnake Viper for different guns. The Boresnake Viper does provide better cleaning one the first couple of runs, but both are more than adequate. I'm not sure how these work with "dirty ammo", but with range reloads and factory ammo, it works great!

I recently started using the Boresnake to clean my 12 ga O/U shotgun based on the recommendation of several other skeet shooters with similar guns. To clean the residue from light target loads, I've found all that's needed is to spray down the Boresnake lightly with Rem Oil, pull it through each barrel once or twice, and the job is done. Couldn't be much easier. I was concerned at first that it took a lot of force to pull the Boresnake through the barrel, but it seems to be very sturdy and I've had no problem with breakage. Additionally, it gets easier after a few uses.

Works very well to clean my shotgun bore.

Es lo que esperaba, y fue lo que recibí, es especial para la limpieza de una escopeta cal. 12 en una sola pasada, evitas que se queden residuos y que se adieran.

The string broke on the first pass!

Perfect - does the job

Does the job. Washable.
