The Hoppe's BoreSnake Viper Den is built to make cleaning your .30 or .32 caliber pistol about as painless as it gets. Instead of running rod after rod and patch after patch, you drop the weighted lead down the bore, grab it on the other side, and pull the whole rope through. One pass loosens the big particles, scrubs out carbon residue with the embedded bronze brushes, and swabs the barrel clean with a woven surface that covers far more area than a single patch ever could. For folks who want their gun ready to go without the mess of a full field strip, it's tough to beat.
The Viper upgrade is where this one earns its keep. It packs three integrated brushes instead of one for roughly 50% more scrubbing power, plus a cone-shaped bore guide on the leading end that lines up in the muzzle quickly and feeds through without fuss. The pull cord ties straight into the first brush for extra strength, and there's a clearly marked lubrication zone so you can apply your oil right where it needs to land as the rope passes through. Add a few drops of Hoppe's solvent to the front knitted section and you've got cleaning, scrubbing, and lubing happening in a single motion.
The Den is the storage piece that gives this kit its name. It's a compact clear case that snaps shut and tucks easily into a range bag or backpack, keeping the snake protected and free of pocket lint between cleanings. The lid isn't just a lid either, it pops off and doubles as a T-handle that gives you a solid grip for pulling the snake through, which matters since the brushes fit snug in a tighter pistol bore.
The BoreSnake Viper is fully machine washable, so when it gets loaded up with carbon and fouling you can toss it in the wash and bring it back to life rather than tossing it out. Running it through a laundry bag and letting it air dry helps it hold up over the long haul. It's solvent resistant and made to be reused again and again, making it a smart pickup for anyone who shoots regularly and wants a fast, no-nonsense way to keep their barrel in shape.
This model is sized for .30 and .32 caliber pistols. The brass weight on the pull lead is stamped with the caliber for quick identification when you have more than one snake in your bag. If you shoot other calibers, Hoppe's makes matching Viper Den snakes in sizes like .22, 9mm/.380/.38/.357, .40/.41, and .44/.45.
Make sure the firearm is unloaded and clear first. Add a little Hoppe's solvent to the front knitted section and oil to the marked lubrication zone, then drop the weighted brass lead through the chamber end and out the muzzle. Grab the weight or snap it into the Den handle and pull the whole rope through in one motion, and you're done. In most cases you don't even need to field strip the pistol.
Yes, it's fully machine washable and solvent resistant, so it's built for repeated use. When it gets loaded up with carbon and fouling, toss it in the wash to freshen it back up. Running it in a laundry bag and air drying it helps it last longer.
The Viper uses three integrated bronze brushes instead of one for about 50% more scrubbing power. It also adds a cone-shaped bore guide for easier insertion, a pull cord tied directly to the brushes for strength, and an improved lubrication zone. The Den case and removable T-handle round it out for easier pulling and cleaner storage.
