which rod is recommended for 22 rimfire

I use Ivy rods, but they are not being made now.

A 20 cal rod works a lot easier for me regardless of the brand on 22's.... John

The BEST cleaning rod? Easy, that would be the one Jerry Stiller makes, hard, melonited, SS……none better.

They are great, but I'm not sure they are made anymore.

You won't go wrong with Bore Tech, just make sure you get the RF version. Pro Shot work as well.

Another vote for a 20 caliber rod. I use Pro Shot and Dewey without issues.

I use these two cleaning rods. The Breakthrough has diameter of 5mm and the PQP is .187". Both are 8-32 thread.

Bore Tech's high-end rods for 22 rimfire.

PS: Their 22 RF rod was too large in diameter for my Tikka T1X so I had to exchange it for their 20 caliber rod which works great with their bore guide.

They are great, but I'm not sure they are made anymore.

I'm pretty sure Dan's making Jerry's cleaning rods under the PQP label

 

[Appalachian]

I like the Boretech 22Rimfire rod, orange handle.

 

[butchlambert]

I'm pretty sure Dan's making Jerry's cleaning rods under the PQP label

I hope so, but it is not on his site.

Yeah, I looked in the accessories part and didn't see the cleaning section.

will the 22 rf rod also work well for my 223 ?

Should be fine

FWIW, I use a .17 carbon rod (chi-com knock off) with a jag for all my .22's except one 1712 that has been rebarreled with a Lija tight bore... that damn thing leads up horribly so I use a .22 dewy rod with a bronze brush to get the lead out before just swabbing/pellet/patching clean. The .17 with a jag is all you need if you are just pushing patches and is light/flexible enough to not grind into walls/muzzle badly If you don't have a guild.
