Bore Tech 22 Caliber 40'' Cleaning Rod

The Bore Tech 22 Caliber 40'' Cleaning Rod is purpose-built for shooters who demand precision maintenance without the guesswork. This caliber-specific rod features a proprietary alloy ferrule and advanced coating designed to deliver accurate bore cleaning without false copper-fouling readings that can plague standard cleaning rods. Whether you're running a rimfire target rifle, varmint rig, or small-caliber hunting gun, a properly matched cleaning rod makes the difference between mediocre maintenance and truly professional bore care.

What sets this rod apart is its construction philosophy: the proprietary alloy and secondary treatment process eliminate misleading copper indicators, while the chemically resistant coating resists wear and prevents debris from embedding in the rod surface. The caliber-specific steel core keeps rigidity where it matters, but the real workhorse is the cushioned ball bearing handle. That ergonomic design rides the rifling effortlessly and protects your rifle stock from the dings and dents that come from rushed cleaning sessions. The female-ended ferrule is machined smooth with no sharp edges, so it transitions cleanly to your jag without adapters.

At 40 inches, this rod handles full-length cleaning passes on most 22 caliber rifles without extension, making it a straightforward, no-fuss choice for regular maintenance. The handle system is the same unparalleled ball bearing design Bore Tech is known for—it rotates freely and keeps you from cross-threading or binding as you work through the bore. Jags are sold separately, so you can customize your cleaning kit to match your exact bore diameter and cleaning philosophy.
