Anyone use a bore snake on their rifles? Thinking about giving them a try and wanting some feedback. Thanks

I've used them on ARs and really like them. I always ran mine till it was pretty clean, just a few passes, then run a light coat of oil through, then another patch to remove any excess oil. Bore snakes make cleaning quick. Just don't be stupid and soak it in solvent...ive seen it done.

Excellent for in-the-field cleaning.

There are other choices for at-home maintenance that perform much better.

I like them for small calibers. I need to get one for my 17hmr. That thing is a pain.

Agree. The .17 is a pain to clean.
I will warn you I have the 17 bore snake and it is a pain to get the brass weight through the barrel.
