[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1138764, member: 91090"] I have boresnakes for quick and dirty for my plinker AR's but on a hunting rifle I would never use one. You really should use a bore guide, a quality 1 piece cleaning rod, a good quality bore cleaner (shooters choice seems real popular), a nickel plated or stainless jag to fit the bore (no brass or bronze), cleaning patches and I prefer a nylon brush. You may need a copper remover occasionally. I use boretech eliminator. It has a copper solvent in it. It will let you know when you have copper. Blue on the patches. Some people don't clean very often. Some people clean every 100 or so rounds. I clean after every shooting session. If done right it is not going to hurt your bore. [/QUOTE]
