Description

The BoreSnake has earned its reputation as one of the fastest ways to knock the fouling out of a barrel, and the Viper Den takes that same idea and adds a home for it. This version is sized for .338 and .340 caliber rifles, covering popular chamberings like the .338 Lapua Magnum and .340 Weatherby Magnum. Drop a few drops of solvent on the head, a little oil on the tail, feed the brass weight through the chamber, and pull. One pass does what a rod, jag, and a stack of patches used to take several minutes to accomplish.

What Sets the Viper Den Apart from a Standard BoreSnake

The Viper pulls its weight with an integrated bronze brush that scrubs out carbon fouling as it travels down the bore, while the braided cleaning tail wipes everything clean with a surface area roughly 160 times larger than a single patch. A cone-shaped bore guide on the leading end helps you feed it into the chamber without fuss, and the brass weight has the caliber stamped right into it so you always grab the correct snake from the drawer.

The Den Case Keeps Things Tidy

The real convenience here is the Den itself. It's a compact clear case that the snake coils into for storage, keeping the brush and cord clean and untangled between cleanings. The lid snaps off and doubles as a pull handle, so there's no hunting for a spot to grip when you're running it through the bore. Toss it in a range bag, a truck console, or a hunting pack and it stays contained instead of leaving solvent smudges on everything it touches.

Built to Be Used Again and Again

The BoreSnake is machine washable and solvent resistant, so when it starts to look grimy you can drop it in a mesh bag or an old sock and run it through the wash, then hang it to air dry. Cared for that way, one snake will handle a lot of range days before it's ready to retire. For a quick field clean or a between-session touch-up, it's tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers does the BoreSnake Viper Den .338/.340 fit?

This one is built for .338 and .340 caliber rifle bores, which covers popular rounds like the .338 Lapua Magnum and .340 Weatherby Magnum. The brass weight is stamped with the caliber so you can confirm it at a glance. If you shoot a different bore diameter, Hoppe's makes BoreSnake Dens in a full range of sizes.

How do I use the BoreSnake?

Put a few drops of solvent on the brush section and a little oil on the tail, then drop the brass weight through the chamber and out the muzzle. Pull the snake through in one steady motion and repeat a couple times until the bore looks clean. The integrated bronze brush scrubs carbon while the tail wipes the barrel dry, and the cone bore guide makes feeding it in easy.

Can the BoreSnake Viper Den be washed and reused?

Yes, the BoreSnake is machine washable and solvent resistant, so it's made to be reused for a long time. When it gets grimy, put it in a mesh laundry bag or a sock, run it through the wash with a little detergent, and hang it to air dry before storing it back in the Den. Wiping it down after each use also helps keep it working its best.

What is the Den case actually for?

The Den is a compact clear case that the snake coils into for storage, keeping the brush and cord clean and tangle-free between cleanings. The lid pops off and works as a pull handle when you're running the snake through your barrel. It's sized to drop into a range bag or hunting pack without making a mess.
