Description
The Hoppe's BoreSnake Den takes the fastest bore cleaner around and gives it a proper home. This is the classic pull-through rope sized specifically for .20 and .204 caliber rifles, now bundled with a small clear carrying case that keeps everything tidy between cleanings. Drop the weighted end down the barrel, pull it through, and you're done. No rods, no loose patches, no fuss.
What Makes the BoreSnake Den Tick
The rope does the heavy lifting in one pass. An integrated bronze brush scrubs out carbon fouling as it travels down the bore, then the thick cleaning tail swabs everything loose on its way through. That tail carries a surface area about 160 times larger than a standard patch, so you cover a lot of ground in a single pull. Run it dry for a quick field wipe, or add a little Hoppe's No. 9 or CLP to the head and tail for a deeper clean before storage. The whole snake is machine washable too, so you can freshen it up and use it over and over.
Why the Den Case Earns Its Keep
The Den itself is the upgrade longtime BoreSnake fans have been waiting for. The lid snaps off and doubles as a T-handle, which means you grab and pull with real leverage instead of wrapping the string around your knuckles. When you're done, the snake coils back inside the case and the handle clicks into place to seal it up. It's compact enough to ride in a range bag, a backpack, or a truck console, and it keeps the brush protected from grit and dirt while it's stored.
The brass weight is stamped with the caliber, so you'll always know which snake you've got in hand if you keep a few different sizes on the bench. For .204 Ruger shooters and anyone running a fast .20 caliber varmint rig, this is one of the simplest ways to keep that skinny bore running clean between range trips and hunts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the .204 BoreSnake Den fit?
This snake is built for .20 and .204 caliber rifle bores, including the popular .204 Ruger. The rope diameter is matched to that bore size so the bronze brush and tail make solid contact as you pull them through. Some folks also use it on .22 rimfire barrels since it pulls through a little easier, but it's designed and sized for .20 caliber.
Do I need cleaning solvent to use the BoreSnake Den?
You can run it dry for a quick pass at the range or in the field, and it'll still clear out loose fouling and debris. For a more thorough clean, add a few drops of Hoppe's No. 9 or CLP to the head and tail before pulling it through. Either way, one or two passes usually gets the job done.
How does the Den case work?
The snake coils up and stores inside the compact clear case, and the lid pops off to serve as a T-handle. That handle gives you real grip and leverage when you pull the snake through, so there's no wrapping the string around your hand. When you're finished, the handle snaps back into the case to keep the brush protected during transport.
Is the BoreSnake reusable and washable?
Yes. The BoreSnake is built to be used again and again, and the whole rope is machine washable. When it starts getting loaded up with fouling, toss it in the wash, let it dry, and it's ready for the next cleaning.
