Hoppe's, Boresnake® Shotgun with Den and T-Handle, Shotgun Cleaner

Worked great. Makes cleaning fast and easy

Hoppes is the original boresnake manufacturer, and their quality shows. You could pay less for cheap, no-name snakes, but why bother? I have only had one instance where I snapped a cord on a Hoppes boresnake, but that was out of about seven snakes I own in rifle calibers and shotgun all shotgun gauges and use for over two decades. Buy one for both your bench and your range bag.

Cleaner than a whistle.

I tried the the cheap version to save some money. The string broke on the second pull through the bore.I shoot often and this is a very easy to use maintenance tool. Buy the Hoppes . The best bore snake out there.

Easiest way to clean the barrel!

Great product and it cleans my shotgun perfectly every time

I was skeptical when Bore Snakes first came out, but over the years of both selling them in local gun shops as well as using them myself, I became less skeptical and more won over. For a quick-clean, there is nothing better. Elmer Keith made reference to something similar he contrived from over-sized patches/rags and a leather thong with a slit in it. This item expands on Elmer's idea, and like the .44 S&W Magnum, it turned out to be a good idea.In recent years, they have included a sort of handle so one could, in theory, use the product without touching the fabric of the bore snake in order to limit your exposure to chemicals. I always discard the packaging and just pack the snake into a Mason jar with a white plastic lid bearing the label so I know what caliber snake is in the jar. If you are concerned about the chemicals you are using, maybe the thing to do would be to use another solvent or wear disposable gloves.In any case, unless the gun you are cleaning has a badly rusted bore or is otherwise really dirty, the bore snake will generally get the gun clean in one or two passes using any of several brands of bore solvent. Not a bad idea to add a little gun oil to the back end of the snake so you can leave a film of oil behind.Now, you still need to clean other parts of the gun in the prescribed manner, and it isn't a bad idea to have a conventional cleaning rod with brushes and a fitted jag for days you fired eighty rounds on the range for some reason, but for most "homestead guns" this is all you will ever use to clean the bore and chamber.

20 gauge bore snake. Works great for a quick clean up.
