Bore Snakes anyone?

Who is using them? What do you think?

I have them for (I think) 5 different calibers. I think they're great to have but I still clean mine the old way after a lot of shooting.
 
Great to put in my hunting pack just in case...

Love Mine. Easy to pack & travel with. Kinda wish the wire brush built in was a bit more aggressive. The majority of ammo through my 45-70 is cast lead and it seems to clean it out  good. I like that I can get a real good amount of solvent through on each pass.

Still use the rod & brush at home but it goes to the woods with me for daily cleaning.

I only use them for my shotguns..and I love them for quick cleaning.   I spray gun scrubber down the tube than chase it with the snake works like a champ.

I dont like them for rifles because I dont think they do a good job removing copper fouling but all in all I wish I invented them.

Ditto to the letter.  You need chemicals to remove copper and fouling from rifles.

I've got em, and especially like them for my semi-auto .22's that don't have  bolt to pull out.  You can't run a cleaning rod from the breach, and the snake is easy to get in, and I don't expect a great cleaning on a .22 anyway.

Great for quick cleaning in the field on hunting trips.  Definately recommend thorough cleaning at home with the rod and patches as the primary source of cleaning though.

they work exceptionally well for a quick cleaning, i have several for my rifles and shotguns.  mainly use them to keep the barrels from getting disgusting in between regular cleaning.

[Straight Shooter]

Use them for quick cleaning at the range. 

[Shootmoore]

I use them for quick clean ups, in the field in case of crud getting into the barrel.  I also use them for quick cleans after only shooting a few rounds.  I also use them in the shotguns exclusivly other than a once a year scrubbing.

Break one off in a barrel and you'll stop useing them

You just jinxed all of us.

I've talked to a few gunsmiths and I guess it's pretty common.

I use them to clean the easy stuff out and then run a patch with lub down the barrle. I wont scrub my bore unless ive lost accuracy. Ive looked in to this a lot and I think american rifle men had a thing on it but accuracy tends to do up after the first 20rds, and a sierra test barrel even after 100 rds was shooting tight groups and your barrel will last longer if your not scrubing the bore all the time.
