Description
The Hoppe’s BoreSnake Viper with Den is a one-pass bore cleaning tool built for .375-caliber rifles, covering the full family of .35, .350, .358, and .375 bore diameters in a single product. It suits any shooter who wants a fast, field-capable cleaning solution that does not require a cleaning rod, patches, and a separate jag — the entire process collapses into pulling one rope through the barrel.
The Viper design improves on the original BoreSnake by adding a third bronze brush ahead of the flossing section, which means the abrasive scrubbing stage gets more contact with the bore wall before the wider tail sweeps out loosened fouling and debris. That sequence — bronze brush agitation followed by a high-surface-area tail — handles carbon and copper deposits in a single stroke, which makes it practical both at the bench and in the field where a full rod kit is impractical to carry.
A bore guide is integrated into the front of the snake to ease insertion and keep the rope aligned with the bore axis, reducing the chance of the bronze brush catching on the crown or the chamber throat. This matters most on rifles with tight chambers or sharp leade angles, where a misaligned entry can drag debris back across the chamber face.
The Den case serves a practical dual purpose: it houses the snake between uses to keep it from picking up grit and transferring it back into a clean barrel, and the lid doubles as a pull handle for controlled extraction of the rope once it has been run through. For field use or a range bag, that compact, self-contained format is straightforward and keeps the tool clean and ready.
