Hoppes bore snakes are excellent, fast cleaning tools for field cleaning after a day at the range. Easy to use, just dip the front portion in a bit of Hoppes #9 or your favorite cleaning solvent, and pull through the barrel, from breech to muzzle, a few times... you're done! Only criticism is the price at Overstock does not represent a savings over what I would pay at my local gun shop... is actually a couple dollars more than the local guy.
