Proshot Cleaning rods .22-26 cal.

There are manufacturing tolerances so you both could be right.
Both of you are within the expected measuring error limit for calipers.
Which is +- .002. It depends on how hard you squeeze them.
 
I have a new CZ457 American that I pick up for my wife this Thursday. I guess I need to buy a new cleaning rod for it. It will be the first CZ457 RF we own.
 
I have four CZ rimfires and I use a Bore Tech .17 rod and a .20 jag. I do get some bowing of the rod if I use a patch that is too tight, The only thing I don't like about the rod is the handle doesn't spin and the jag likes to unscrew with each pass through.

I was using a Dewey .20 rod in them but the chamber face was scraping off the black coating on the rod so I switched to the .17 and no more problems.

I think the pro shot .20 .187 diameter would be the Ideal .22 RF rod if they just made it a little longer. it is 36"

It works, you also have to run the adapter, but you will have the rod buried into your guide if you want to clear a tuner and swap jags/ brushes.

Currently I use the 38.5" .17 cal proshot with adapter.

I agree that .187 is ideal. Can you confirm the Pro Shot .20 cal. rod is .187?
 
I use a 20 cal jag & 1 1/2 Pro Shot patches & it "feels" right to me. A skoosh less than snug & glides right thru. I don't think its a good idea to fight a patch down thru there. Been a while since I cleaned a CZ but would likely use a smaller patch, 1" or so.
I prefer the Pro Shot to my Ivy for the shorter length. I'm close to the guide when thru but haven't had anything longer than a 24" barrel too. The Ivy however is 8/32 & I've only used a 22 jag & 3/4" patches with it. Haven't patched with it in years though, just brush with it.

Tony,
Plinkerforlife is correct, and the Pro-shot rod does not vary more than .0005+or-. I f you're making a 2 piece rod guide, .190 reamer works perfectly for an aluminum insert. I also make delrin inserts for coated rods, and they vary a lot....Dewey .22 caliber is .195 to .210. the Boretech varies a lot as well. I really like the Pro-shot rods, but he's right about the length as well. They need to make a 40 or 42.
