I've used the Bore Snake before and love them. I think they are great for a quick cleaning, but not a thorough cleaning. I've noticed if you run a clean, oiled patch through it after a few swipes of the Bore Snake and it will come out a little dirty.
This is the new Bore Snake Viper which is supposed to do a more thorough job by 50%. My questions are:
1.) Do you think it will do an actual noticeably better job?
2.) Is a Bore Snake Viper or Bore Snake enough cleaning for your gun or do you need to still run a patch and brush on a rod thru it?
3.) What do you think about putting Hoppes #9 on the front of the Bore Snake to clean out the bore and something like Breakfree CLP on the back to protect the bore for storage and then running it through the bore?
If all you'd need is to run a Bore Snake or Bore Snake Viper thru your gun when you shoot that would be really nice. Obviously other parts of the gun won't be cleaned by a Bore Snake and will have to be cleaned in a traditional manner.
