RE: who uses a bore snake?
I have some for rifle, shotgun and pistol. The ones for rifle I use after regular cleaning methods, that long piece of clothe is great for removing that final bit of gunk and applying a light coat of oil. I haven' t thought of useing them at the range or in the field. I will take' em to Newcastle, Wyoming this year. I use the ones for shotguns the same as the rifle, but I also will use it for a quick clean after bust' en clays untill I can give it a good cleaning. The ones for pistols are o.k. if you shoot a few rounds only (100 or so), if you shoot lead they are worthless in my experiance.[:-]
