I bought some Wipeout Brushless Borecleaner (it's a foam) from Brownells after recommendations from guys on a Savage 99 forum.
Used it on a Sav 99 (of course) that had been sitting for @ 10 years.
Let it sit over night and it worked great--comes out in the morning with just patches and not a brush.
Takes all kinds of powder crud out of the chamber too.

Won't harm blue at all is the best part--won't ever hesitate to use it on some of my classics (Smith 52-2) and antiques after using it on the 99

Best thing is the more I used it (as I started shooting the gun some more) it helped reduce the amount of copper fouling buildup in the first place over subsequent shooting sessions.
Finally traded the gun in and had the gunshop say he was impressed and wished every customer knew how to clean a gun like this one was
