Boresnake Rifle 17cal W/ Den

The Boresnake Rifle 17cal with Den is a purpose-built bore cleaning system designed for operators and shooters who maintain .17 caliber rifles in field or range environments. This compact cleaning solution combines the proven flexibility of the Boresnake design with dedicated .17 caliber sizing, delivering efficient bore scrubbing and lubrication in a package small enough to fit in a tactical pack or gun bag.

The den—a weighted brass weight integrated into the system—guides the snake through the bore with minimal friction, reducing fouling and copper buildup in the rifling. The design works by running the weighted end through the bore first, followed by the synthetic brushes and soft cloth tail that strip carbon, powder residue, and surface oxidation. The .17 caliber-specific diameter ensures full contact with the bore without over-sizing, a critical detail for maintaining tight tolerances in precision small-bore rifles where bore condition directly impacts shot-to-shot consistency.

This tool addresses the specific needs of precision rifle shooters, varmint hunters, and competitive marksmen who rely on .17 HMR, .17 Hornet, or similar cartridges. Unlike general-purpose cleaning kits, a caliber-matched Boresnake delivers faster bore maintenance without the need to size-select from a universal multi-tool. Field cleaning after long shooting sessions becomes a two-minute task rather than an equipment puzzle—essential when operating in remote locations or between match stages where downtime is limited.
