Bore Tech .22 Cal. 44''

The Bore Tech .22 caliber cleaning rod is a purpose-built tool for maintaining .22 rifles with minimal effort and maximum precision. At 44 inches long, this rod is sized to handle the full length of typical .22 barrels, making it practical for everything from rimfire target work to small-game hunting. The epoxy-coated spring steel construction resists solvent damage, so it'll withstand repeated cleaning sessions with your preferred bore cleaners without degradation.

What sets this .22 cleaning rod apart is its cushioned handle design, which houses 22 ball bearings that allow the rod to rotate freely as you push it through the bore. This rotating motion helps your patch follow the rifling naturally, reducing resistance and the risk of the patch bunching or snagging—a real advantage when you're cleaning a tight .22 bore. Index dots marked on the handle give you a quick visual reference for checking twist rates, useful if you're working with multiple rifles or want to verify a gun's twist characteristics during maintenance.

Whether you're a competitive rimfire shooter putting rounds downrange at the bench, a hunter keeping a .22 in fighting trim between seasons, or someone who just believes in proper gun care, this rod is a straightforward addition to your cleaning kit. It's the kind of tool that doesn't demand attention but rewards you with smooth, friction-free cleaning every time you use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What .22 rifles will this cleaning rod fit?

This 44-inch rod is designed for standard .22 caliber rifles. The bore diameter and length make it well-suited for typical .22 rifle barrels used in hunting and target shooting.

Why do ball bearings in the handle matter?

The 22 ball bearings allow the rod to rotate freely as you push it through the bore. This reduces friction and helps your cleaning patch follow the rifling naturally, making the cleaning process smoother and less likely to cause bunching or snagging.

Will this rod hold up to my regular bore cleaners?

Yes. The full-length epoxy coating on the spring steel rod is formulated to resist solvent damage, so it can handle repeated exposure to standard firearms cleaning solvents without deteriorating.

What are the index dots used for?

The index dots marked on the handle serve as a quick reference to check the twist rate of your rifle's barrel, which is useful information to have during maintenance or when working with multiple rifles.
