Dewey 20 Cal 42'' Cleaning Rod Stainless

A Dewey 20 Cal 42'' Cleaning Rod Stainless is purpose-built for shooters who demand durability and precision in firearms maintenance. This hardened, polished stainless steel rod is engineered for .20 caliber centerfire rifles and also works perfectly for .22 rimfire rifles—making it a versatile choice for owners of either platform. The uncoated stainless construction resists corrosion and is built to last through years of regular cleaning sessions, whether you're maintaining a varmint rifle, small-game hunter, or rimfire target gun.

At 42 inches in length (handle not included), this rod strikes a practical balance for cleaning rifles of typical barrel lengths without being unwieldy to work with. The female-threaded design allows you to attach cleaning jags and brushes that fit the rod securely. Included with the rod is a .20 caliber jag, which handles both .20 centerfire and .22 rimfire ammunition—a smart move if you own rifles in both calibers.

Dewey rods have earned their reputation among competition shooters and serious gun owners across all disciplines. The hardened, polished stainless steel won't wear prematurely or develop burrs that could scratch bore walls, and the corrosion-resistant material makes it a low-maintenance addition to your cleaning kit. Whether you're breaking in a new .20 cal or keeping a well-loved .22 rimfire in peak condition, this rod delivers the reliability you expect from a Dewey product.
