Description
The BoreSnake has always been the quick answer to a dirty barrel, and the Viper Den version for 20 gauge shotguns takes that reputation a step further. Instead of setting up a rod, jag, patches, and a brush, you just drop the weighted cord down the bore and pull. The Viper runs three bronze brushes for roughly 50 percent more scrubbing power than the classic BoreSnake, so carbon fouling and loose crud come out in a single pass while the fabric tail wipes the barrel clean behind it.
What Sets the Viper Den Apart
A cone-shaped bore guide on the leading end lines everything up and makes feeding the snake into the muzzle painless, even in the field with cold hands. The pull cord ties directly into the brushes for extra strength, and there's a bright orange lubrication zone on the tail where you add a few drops of your favorite Hoppe's cleaner or CLP. That gives you loosen, scrub, and swab all in one motion.
The Den Case and T-Handle
What really makes this one handy is the reusable Den storage case. It snaps shut to keep your snake clean and lint-free, and the lid pops off to double as a pull handle. There's also a separate T-handle tucked in for anyone who wants more grip on the pull-through. Toss the whole thing in a range bag, blind bag, or truck box and it takes up almost no room.
Keeping Your 20 Gauge Ready
Whether you run a pump, semi-auto, or break-action 20 gauge, this is the tool that gets used because it's fast. The BoreSnake is machine washable and solvent resistant, so when it finally loads up with grime you rinse it out and it's good as new. For quick maintenance after a round of clays or a morning chasing birds, it's tough to beat a one-pull cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the BoreSnake Viper Den different from the original BoreSnake?
The Viper adds a third bronze brush for about 50 percent more scrubbing power than the classic BoreSnake. It also has a cone-shaped bore guide for easier insertion and a marked lubrication zone. On top of that, this version comes with the reusable Den case and a T-handle.
Do I need cleaning solvent to use the Viper Den?
The snake will pull out loose fouling and debris on its own, but you'll get the best results by adding a few drops of bore cleaner or CLP to the orange lubrication zone. That combines loosening, scrubbing, and swabbing into a single pass. Any Hoppe's cleaner works well with it.
Can the BoreSnake Viper Den be washed and reused?
Yes. The snake is machine washable and solvent resistant, so when it gets loaded up with grime you can rinse or wash it and it's ready to go again. Let it dry fully before storing it back in the Den case.
What is the Den case for?
The Den is a compact carrying case that snaps shut to keep your BoreSnake clean and protected in a range bag or backpack. The lid doubles as a pull handle, so you don't have to dig for a separate grip. It keeps the whole setup organized between cleanings.
