Questions & Answers

For a 6 I need to know what size to use. How do we explain 5 Grendel's upper position?

Viper is only equipped with boresnake 264, which isn't available in the viper.

How do I know which one fits a 30-inch head ?

I estimate it to be about 30 This weapon is a 308 calibre. Please consult the the company's website for a full list. They should have one there

What is the duration of Do you think it would fit in a 26-inch ?

This will be the case. The chord is approximately 75 inches long when included in the length of mine... but it is 30 inches long without it.

The snake you see here is a Hoppe's snake, right? What comes in the package of the hoppe's viper boresnake? Are there a sewn-in label and brass tip on the product?

The answer is yes, as long as you get it from amazon and don't go to the area that says "new and used from blank.". If possible, go directly to amazon when you can, even though you might find a better price there. Usually those vendors sell the same item, but not the same thing, so preferably always buy directly from amazon.

You must have this in your arsenal of gun cleaning products! While some of these products are amazing, you must take the time to fully understand their shortcomings
4/5

I'd like to share some information with you The following notes provide a deeper insight The pros are Please note - This is a very simple way to use these. It takes almost no time at all to clean them after spinning them through your barrel. There are no directions in the package (hence I took away one star from this item, as you need to include directions always). Please note - The cleaning power of the sun. Their predecessors may have been good at cleaning but the Vipers are far better at it. I feel that the 3 brushes listed below are outstanding Please note - It is a tough and rugged gun. I have 7 different calibers of it, and none has failed me yet. Notes and instructions can be used here 1 ) Spray your barrel with a good aerosol bore cleaner . 1) Spray the green portion of the Snake between the plastic barrel guide and 3) Spray a high quality gun oil onto the orange end of the snake. 4) Pull the cleaner through your gun 3 All you have to do is repeat this five times. A few notes Please note - There is no substitute for a simple rod and patch system when it comes to cleaning your barrel. There is just no way for it to work There will be very clean barrels after using it, but it won't get your barrel 100% clean. Don't believe someone who claims it will do the job, but also don't believe them who tell you how bad the snake works. Their awesomeness may not be without flaws.
A misconception about the Snake is that it will pick up pieces of metal in the fibers and then scratch you as those metal pieces are traversed. For a second, think about it that metal is left behind when a bullet is traveling at high speeds, under pressure, under high temperatures from your barrel. It is already designed to withstand bullet material, so your barrel can handle it. It doesn't matter what metal particles are made of. The cons are Please note - To be honest, I have none. Generally, these are things I've had in my arsenal for a long time, and I It is the only place in the area where I can get my barrels cleaned and ready for the next range trip. Those are the things I recommend to all my friends who shoot. . . . (As an aside, it is brand spankin' new in the picture. This is for the new 454 SRH that I just bought. Thus, it is much prettier than having been used for years)

I hope I was able to assist with your decision to purchase this product. I am not affiliated with the manufacturer or seller, nor do I have an obligation to write about the product.

So far, the only one I've used has worked well is BoreSnake
5/5

Others I've tried have had mediocre results on heavily used rifles, shotguns and handguns, but Hoppe's BoreSnake Viper, a product developed exclusively by Hoppe, has changed my opinion of the product. It is all you need to clean the bore of handguns, rifles, and shotguns by spraying the snake with "Break Free CLP, pulling it through the barrel receiver to muzzle a few times, and the bore will be A few days after an intensive three day duck/goose hunting trip with Federal Premium Black Cloud loads (deadly but dirty shells), the aforementioned procedure was all that was necessary to keep the bore of my Beretta A400 Extreme shining shiny. It takes just five minutes at the end of the day and doesn't require disassembly. Please note If you are going to store your firearm for a while, please ensure that it is stripped down, cleaned and lubricated before storing it. If you want the bore cleaned, please follow this procedure.

A Boresnake is one of my favourite creatures! There are a bunch of types of Boresnakes in my collection and I love them all a lot
5/5

There is a small print on the copper weight that requires a magnifying glass to read, I need a magnifying glass to read that. I wish they were better marked for the caliber.
I have read other reviews about them becoming jammed/difficult to run This does fit tight, much like Otis cleaning patches, which is something I like. I sometimes have to wrap the cord around the shaft of a screwdriver to pull them through , so that the cord doesn't cut into my hands, and so far the cord has not broken.

The rip cord is 100x better than patches, and it has great speed
5/5

This is an excellent way to keep your rifles clean. The shotgun is currently being run through three rifles, from a full length Mosin Nagant model 91/30 to a short Mosin. It is not long enough for the job to be completed with an otis rip cord. In order to pull it through, I dip the wire end in some hoppes. It pulls through again after I add a little oil to the handle. I have kept all of my bores just as shiny as they were when they were My rip cords are extremely useful and there is a good reason why I have one for every gun I own. However, I get frustrated when a patch is pulled through my rifle and powder residue is still visible. This does not provide me with any of that. The dimensions are 62x54R, 7,2. It is 62x39, and there is even a The Swiss 5x55. As far as I can tell, I have had no durability issues with this site.

I PULL THE FIRST TIME AND CAME APART
3/5

TRASH AT THE END OF THE LINE. The products you refer to I have used in the past in other categories and love how well they do. I TRIED THESE TWO, BUT couldn't get them to work. When I pulled it the first time, the cord sheered at the surface between the cord and the thicker cleaning part. THE CRATER LEFT AN OLD PIECE OF PLASTIC INSIDE THE BARREL AND It was purchased months before I needed it, so I would have preferred to set up a return for a defected product. A real bummer.

I have used these since they were first released
3/5

I'm not a fan of this one. A lot of my rifles and pistols have Bore Snakes, I have them for multiple calibers. However, it does not fit a so it needs to be returned. I am 223. It's a good idea to spend a few extra dollars and buy local. Unless you need to return it, it will still be there if you need it.

The quick cleaning tool is great for hunting out in the field
5/5

It is the perfect tool for a quick clean up while out hunting on my Rem 700. This vacuum cleaner is extremely easy to use, does a great job at removing debris and fouling, and leaves a small amount of oil behind. The ram rod does not offer the same level of scrubbing and cleaning as a full-out scrub. Nonetheless, today is a big Cleaning is great on a day like today. It's best to save the plastic packaging it comes in, so that you can store your items inside it and prevent the rest of your stuff from getting greasy.

It worked perfectly to feed the previous model (older) through the paracord as that cord was too thick, but used it to transmit the newer model as it was thinner
3/5

I have one for you. This is the case. It took me two tries to get the 22lr to work. The brush bristles got stuck in the barrel and I had to use a screwdriver to pull the cord through, which broke the cord on the second attempt. It worked perfectly to feed the previous model (older) through the paracord as that cord was too thick, but used it to transmit the newer model as it was thinner. We'll have one for each person within 30 days My experience with 30 has yet to be fully documented, and I fear similar results may come about. You have 22!.
