What is everyone using for .22lr cleaning rod?

[longbow]

I use my CLEAN cable and since it has no force on the lands entering or exiting its good to go.
When I shoot my .17's...17 MK-4 I use Carbon spray cleaner to desolve the crud on the lands. Ballistol for my air rifles

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.

I replied to the person using the pull thru cable, not directed at you.

Boretech .20 rod.

Ditto. I have about 6 or 8 cleaning rods, and have found the Bore Tech "Bore Stix" (I think that's what it's called. It's the one with the green handle). All of the rods are good, but this one is tops, IMO. One thing I've always found annoying in using a rod with a detachable tip is that the tip always loosens in use. Not so with the Bore Techs, at least not their premium Bore Stix line. They have the best ball bearing handle system I've ever used and the tips never work loose.

Tipton, .22 cal. one piece carbon rod for me.

Dewey 17C-36 good for .22's with tight chambers

Mine would work loose on my ProShot so Locktite'd it. Knew a guy that lost his jag in the barrel & shot it out & it actually made the 50yd target. Even more surprising than that, he did it again at a later date.
Never tried a Bore Tech.....hmm

i have been using the Bore Tech, i like it, i can "scrub" with it and the jag stays on. though the aluminum jag can be a lil more "tender" than a brass one.. just saying

Ivy rods, but I think he isn't making them anymore. ProShot SS would be my next choice with a good delrin tip, a la the old bore rider stuff. I'm surprised some enterprising person hasn't filled that void.

This is where I got mine....

I have both. The Ivy I have is 44”. Too long for my liking but nice nonetheless.

When we first started we was trying to decide on cleaning rod brand. Quality, price and availability. There is a lot of cleaning rods around our place. Every competition gun has at least one dedicated cleaning rod to it. It stays with that gun. We decided on 17 caliber Pro shot rods. We have had no issues at all with them.

Note: We did have one damaged during shipping but other than that, none.

My barrels are 28” so 40 ish allows me not to crowd the action with the handle.

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

Not so limited as you may think, try Plenty o Patches in Lethbridge, he had a rod I needed for my CZ457 as my Parker was too tight. Can't remember off hand if it was Tipton or Dewey, special made, coated, for tight bore .22's, plus alll kinds of adaptors and patches and whatever else you may need.

I ended up buying my rod there a few weeks ago, .20 cal with an adaptor. I regularly buy from him, great selection of cleaning stuff. I had my heart set on a Boretec .22 rimfire specific but couldn't locate one in the length I needed.

I bought my Dewey rods from them and bought my Pro shot rod from Nordic Marksman in Nova Scotia. There is also a boretech dealer or two in Canada as well.
