Is a boresnake enough

[6MT]

a lotta hate for the snakes!

Boresknakes have no place even being mentioned in a forum that seeks to speak about precision or target rifles.

I own 7 Dewey rods... 22, 243, and 30 cal covers all of my rifles. These and good bore guides, you're choice of solvent (butch's for me) and a little elbow grease is all you'll ever need. BTW, I have worn out a dewy rod from use...

If you have a .30 calibre rifle get the 'Swiss 30 Cal. Cleaning Kit' from TEC at https://www.tradeexcanada.com/content/swiss-30-cal-cleaning-kit--. It is the best quality for price on the market. IMO, them Dewey thingys are overpriced and not too useful in a hunting environment.

A bore snake, if kept clean is great and easy to carry while in the field.

One note on the Boresnake, NEVER EVER put a swab in the loop.

I have had the drill afew out of C7/C8 barrels after they snap the cord.

Dewey rod, good bore guide the best! The dirt rope is a bad choice.

Really like Wipe Out good stuff.

I got a great deal on a m-305 because a person did just that ..I removed the barrel and had it out in a couple minutes.

Precision rifles, we have been selling the VFG system and no regrets.

That along with a good quality bore guide, your good to go.

Dewey rods are good - ProShot, Boretech and Montana Extreme rods have better handle bearings. The reduced handle size on the latter three also reduce the tendency to impact the stock with the handle as with the Dewey.

VFG bore felts work great, been using them a few years.
