Bore Tech Bore Tech V Stix, 22 Cal-6.5Mm 44 Inch

The Bore Tech V-Stix is a 44-inch cleaning rod built for shooters who maintain rifles from .22 caliber up to 6.5mm. Whether you're keeping your rimfire accurate or servicing a centerfire hunting rifle, this caliber-specific rod combines durability with straightforward functionality at a price that won't strain your gun budget. Bore Tech engineered the V-Stix with the same quality standards as their premium offerings, but stripped away the premium markup—giving you a reliable cleaning tool that focuses on performance over prestige.

At the heart of the V-Stix is a steel core sized and hardened for your specific caliber range, paired with a high-performance coating that resists solvent and chemicals without flaking or wearing thin. The cushioned handle sits comfortably during repetitive cleaning strokes and rides on a ball bearing system, reducing friction and fatigue during longer cleaning sessions. Color coding on the handle makes it easy to grab the right rod for your firearm, eliminating guesswork when you've got multiple calibers in the safe. Brass ferrules with female threads at the business end protect your bore from contact with steel while accepting standard jags and brushes.

This is no-frills maintenance gear: it shows up, does the job, and gets out of the way. If you're building out a cleaning kit or replacing a worn rod, the V-Stix delivers the kind of straightforward reliability that keeps your rifles running true without the boutique price tag.
