Hoppe’s BoreSnake Viper Den Rifle Cleaning Rope .35-.375 Cal

Description

The Hoppe's BoreSnake Viper Den takes the fastest bore cleaner around and gives it a home. This version fits .35, .350, .358, and .375 caliber rifles, so it covers everything from .35 Remington and .358 Winchester to .375 Winchester. Instead of fussing with rods, patches, and jags, you drop the weighted end down the bore and pull it straight through. One pass and you're done. The cone-shaped bore guide on the lead end helps it feed in smooth and looks after your rifling as it goes.

What Makes the Viper Den Pull Its Weight

The Viper setup carries an integrated bronze brush that scrubs out carbon fouling, backed up by a long braided tail that wipes loose debris and grime as it follows the brush through the barrel. That tail gives you roughly 160 times the cleaning surface of a standard patch, which is why it clears so much in a single pull. Compared to the original BoreSnake, the Viper design brings about 50% more scrubbing power, and the pull cord ties straight to the brushes for extra strength. There's a marked lubrication zone too, so you can add a few drops of your favorite Hoppe's solvent or oil and clean, scrub, and lube all in one motion.

Living With the BoreSnake Viper Den Case

The Den is the part folks tend to appreciate most day to day. It's a clear, compact case that keeps the rope from tangling up with the rest of your gear, and it slips easily into a range bag, pack, or truck box. The lid snaps into the case and doubles as a pull handle, so the whole thing stays together and ready to go. It's a favorite for range trips, breaking in a new barrel between strings, or a quick cleanup before you can sit down for a full detail at home.

When the rope finally loads up with carbon, toss it in the wash and hang it to dry. It's solvent resistant and machine washable, so you get plenty of reuse out of it before it needs replacing.
