I did not like the bore snake. It did not seem any better than a regular cleaning kit, less verstile. Get the rope full of oil and messy. Be ok for a quick stroke in a field situation, but don't know when I would need that. Clean while shooting change point of impact?Save that money, spend on good cleaning kit and informative book on similar subjects.

If you shoot much you will need a copper solvent in your cleaning kit, you will see arguements on how to use, but for myselfI clean with copper solvent very often.
