[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 88085, member: 4683"] Echo5hotel , The boresnake will not cut the mustard .A friend took one along on a praire dog hunt and told me "you only have to pull it through one time ! ".Well I put some shooters choice copper solvent on a patch and let it soak for a bit and pulled the boresnake through four times.Then broke out the real cleaning kit -dewey rod and brush and cleaned the barrel. There is a product called coppermelt i'm waiting to try ,Ph.# 801-465-2551 it is spoke of highly onboard here. Also 'wipe-out' is supposedly good. I use nylon bristle brushs from sinclair international for cleaning and shooters choice ,but that's just me.I know i'd like a faster product as the shooters choice makes cleaning a 'new barrel 'a real tussle. As far as your scope i'm not familiar with the one you mentioned at all.A good scope is paramount to a longrange gun for sure.Try 'the optic zone.com for some good advise and service ,Jon the owner is a board member here.< I can assure you his prices are great!! The nikon buckmaster 6 x18 with side focus would make a fine scope ,although a little more magnification might be in order.Get a scope with a lifetime warranty ,that generally lets you know it is a solid built piece. I think your rifle in 300 wsm is a great choice and will definately make your 800-1000 yd dreams a reality. Best of luck to you and i hope this helped. Mike [/QUOTE]
