The Real Avid Bore Boss 17 Cal Rifle Cleaner is a purpose-built bore snake designed to streamline rifle maintenance in the field or at the bench. Unlike traditional rope-style cleaners that tangle and shed fibers, this 32-inch bronze bristle bore snake combines a single-piece dual-action cable with a thoughtfully engineered storage case, making it an efficient choice for shooters who want a faster, cleaner bore-cleaning experience without the mess.

The core of the Bore Boss is its integrated cable and brush system. The phosphor bronze bristles and braided mop work together to remove fouling effectively, while the 32-inch length accommodates most rifle barrels. The flexible overmolded handle provides a secure, comfortable grip during the pulling stroke, and the case that houses the cable doubles as your storage solution—no more hunting for a cleaning kit scattered across your range bag or gun safe.

Setup is straightforward: open the case, feed the cable through your barrel, clip it to the muzzle for stability, and pull. The design eliminates the fumbling and frustration of managing separate ropes, brushes, and patches. For shooters who maintain multiple rifles or who value efficiency and simplicity, the Bore Boss delivers a no-nonsense approach to bore cleaning that keeps your barrels in good shape without unnecessary complexity or cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the 32-inch bore snake work with my rifle barrel?

The 32-inch cable is designed to accommodate standard rifle barrels. If you have an unusually long barrel or need a shorter option for a handgun, Real Avid offers Bore Boss models in other sizes, including a 12-inch version for sidearms.

What's included in the box?

The Bore Boss comes as a complete system: the cable with attached phosphor bronze brush and braided mop, the polycarbonate handle with flexible overmolding, and the Flex-Case storage housing that keeps everything organized and accessible.

How is this different from a traditional rope bore snake?

The Bore Boss uses a single-piece dual-action cable instead of a rope, eliminating tangling, shedding, and mess. The integrated case serves as both storage and part of the cleaning mechanism, so there's no need to manage separate components or deal with frayed rope fibers.

Can I use this for cleaning multiple calibers?

This model is caliber-specific to .17 Cal. Real Avid offers Bore Boss cleaners across 12 caliber and gauge options, so you'll want to match the cleaner to your barrel diameter for proper fit and effective cleaning.
