What is everyone using for .22lr cleaning rod?

[Wellington]

Has to be popular as I am in Canada and things are limited. Benchmark barrel if that matters.

.22lr Cleaning Rods

I've used a Tipton 36" .22 cleaning rod for years on a .22-250. It fits in my new, unfired CZ 457 .22lr, but it's very snug. Not so tight that it damages the rod, but just a nice, snug fit. This is without a patch on the jag. I picked up a new Boretech .22 cleaning rod today, and it's nylon...

.17 rod, 'cos I already had one and I'm too cheap to get another.

PS the winter flanelette sheets could be a victim soon.

My Tipton rod that I use for .224 and 6mm also fits my .22rf rifles without issues. It's .207 diameter. I like the fit.

Use a bore guide! Bill Calfree said more 22 barrels ruined with A cleaning rod and no bore guide.I myself use a pull thru plastic coated cable with A loop on the end.The same one I use on my Bench Rest Air Rifles.

Do you use a guide on the muzzle to not damage crown?

I use a single wrap of 3" masking tape around the end of my rod where it exits the muzzle, as suggested elsewhere. Some will tell you that's a waste of time, but it's not thier rifle, it's yours. I have no idea what cable users do.

If you're cleaning from the muzzle...autoloader, Lever action...they make muzzle rod guides.
