The Hoppe's BoreSnake Viper 24035VD transforms 12 gauge shotgun maintenance from a time-consuming chore into a quick field operation. This single-pass bore cleaning system combines brushing and swabbing actions in one fluid motion, eliminating the need for cleaning rods, patches, and multiple solvents.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional rod-and-patch cleaning systems, the BoreSnake Viper integrates bronze brushes directly into its cleaning cord structure. The built-in bore guide prevents damage to the chamber and muzzle crown while the weighted brass tip ensures smooth feeding through the barrel. This design reduces cleaning time from 15-20 minutes to under two minutes per barrel.
