Bore Tech 22 Caliber 40'' Cleaning Rod
The Bore Tech 22 Caliber 40" Cleaning Rod is purpose-built for precision rifle maintenance, giving you a dedicated rod that matches your .22 bore's exact specifications. Unlike generic rods that require adapters and guesswork, this caliber-specific rod features a female-ended ferrule machined to work directly with Bore Tech jags—no extra hardware needed. The 40-inch length handles standard rifle barrels without awkward extensions, and the ergonomic, cushioned ball bearing handle lets you follow your rifling smoothly without binding or forcing.
What sets Bore Tech's Proof Positive design apart is the engineered alloy ferrule and chemically resistant coating that work together to eliminate false copper fouling readings. You get honest bore conditions without the guesswork that can lead to over-cleaning or under-cleaning. The rod itself combines the safety of brass—won't damage your bore or stock—with exceptional strength to handle real-world use without flexing or bending. The advanced coating prevents debris from embedding in the rod, keeping your bore truly clean with every pass.
Built for hunters, competitive shooters, and anyone serious about barrel longevity, this rod earns its place in a proper cleaning kit. The cushioned handle design protects your rifle stock, and the 8-32 thread standard (used on all calibers except .17 and .20) pairs seamlessly with standard Bore Tech accessories. Jags and other attachments are sold separately, so you can customize your setup to your exact needs.
