The Hoppes Viper Boresnake Rifle .30 (Model: HP24015VD) is a manual, single-pass bore cleaning tool engineered specifically for .30 to .308 calibre rifles. This pull-through cleaning solution removes carbon and copper fouling in a single motion, combining an integrated bronze brush and a woven-floss body. It serves as a highly portable, lightweight alternative to traditional rigid cleaning rods, weighing under 100 grams in its packaging. The tool features the "Viper Den" clear plastic storage case, which prevents dirt and debris from clinging to the snake while packed. The lid of the case is designed to snap out and double as a T-handle, giving the user a secure grip to pull the snake through tight barrels. To ease feeding, a tapered brass cone guide is attached to the leading end of the weighted pull-cord.

Key Features

• Enhanced Scrubbing Power: Features an integrated bronze brush with 3 scrubbing zones, delivering 33% more scrubbing power than the original BoreSnake and 50% more overall scouring area.
• High-Capacity Floss Body: The trailing woven-floss body has a surface area 160 times larger than a standard cleaning patch, trapping loosened fouling and drying the bore in a single pass.
• Integrated T-Handle: The storage case lid converts into a pull-handle to assist with manual clearance through the barrel.
• Reusable Construction: The synthetic nylon fabric is machine or hand-washable inside a wash bag, allowing the tool to be reused hundreds of times.

Who is the Hoppes Viper Boresnake Rifle .30 for?

• Remote Australian hunters — Requires a packable, lightweight maintenance tool weighing under 100 grams to replace heavy, rigid cleaning rods during multi-day hunts, while providing a 50% larger scouring area to keep .30 to .308 calibre rifles clear of field debris.
• Field and target shooters — Requires rapid, single-pass bore cleaning between shooting sessions using 3 integrated scrubbing zones to lift copper and carbon fouling without disassembling the rifle.

Less suitable for: Owners of smaller firearms under the .30 calibre threshold, such as .223 or .243 calibre rifles, as pulling this .30 calibre BoreSnake through a smaller bore can permanently jam the integrated brass brushes. It is also unsuitable for barrels that are not cool to the touch, as hot steel can melt the synthetic nylon fabric. For heavily leaded or severely fouled barrels, traditional rigid brass cleaning rods and chemical solvents are required instead of this manual pull-through tool.
