Hoppe’s BoreSnake Viper Den
$11.99
The Hoppe’s BoreSnake Viper Den cleans a bore in one pull — no rod, no patches, no bench setup. Integrated bronze brushes scrub out carbon fouling while the tail swabs the bore with 160x the surface area of a standard patch, and the included Den case keeps it coiled and ready between range trips. Available in pistol, rifle, and shotgun sizes to match your platform.
Description
Hoppe’s BoreSnake Viper Den
The BoreSnake Viper bore cleaner replaces rods, patches, and a full bench setup with one pull, because the integrated brushes and cone-shaped guide do the scrubbing in a single pass. Hoppe’s built the Viper as an upgrade over the original BoreSnake, since a third bronze brush delivers 50% more scouring power against carbon fouling. As a result, one pass loosens heavy carbon buildup, the bronze brushes scrub what’s left, and the woven tail swabs the bore with a cleaning surface 160 times larger than a standard patch. In addition, this BoreSnake Viper bore cleaner ships in the Viper Den case, a clear storage container whose lid doubles as a T-handle for a firmer, more controlled pull.
Key Features — BoreSnake Viper Bore Cleaner
- Cone-shaped bore guide seats the BoreSnake Viper Den squarely in the chamber for fast, consistent alignment.
- Three integrated bronze brushes deliver 50% more scouring power than the original BoreSnake, because Hoppe’s added a dedicated brush stage ahead of the cleaning cord.
- A cleaning surface 160x larger than a standard patch swabs the bore clean in the same pull that scrubs it.
- Hoppe’s stamps the brass weight with size, so the correct caliber or gauge stays obvious even mid-cleaning session.
- The Viper Den case stores the snake coiled and ready, and its lid snaps free to serve as a T-handle for pull-through leverage.
- A marked lubrication zone accepts Hoppe’s No. 9 or Elite Gun Cleaner for a one-step clean-and-lube pass.
Why This Product Stands Out
You don’t need a cleaning ritual after every range trip — you need the bore clean enough to shoot with confidence at the next match or hunt. That’s why the BoreSnake Viper earns a permanent spot in the range bag instead of the gun safe: it does in one pull what a rod, brush, and stack of patches take ten minutes to accomplish. Because Hoppe’s sews the bronze brushes directly into the cord rather than screwing them onto a separate rod tip, there’s no risk of a brush backing off mid-stroke and getting stuck in the bore.
In particular, the Viper Den case solves the other half of the problem: where the snake lives between cleanings. A loose BoreSnake tangles in a range bag and picks up grit that works against the next pass. The Den keeps it coiled, contained, and ready, while the T-handle lid gives shooters with big hands or stiff bores the extra leverage a bare pull cord doesn’t offer. For anyone running multiple platforms, the caliber-stamped brass weight means the correct snake gets grabbed on the first try, not after digging through three unmarked coils.
Ideal Use Cases
- Post-range carbon and copper fouling removal
- Field maintenance during hunting trips or multi-day shoots
- Pre-storage cleaning before a firearm goes back in the safe
- Quick touch-ups between range sessions without a full cleaning bench setup
