Dewey .22-.26 Cal. 44'' Rod

The Dewey .22-.26 Cal. 44'' Rod is a precision cleaning rod built for shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. At 44 inches long, this rod handles the full bore length of most rimfire and centerfire rifles in the .22 to .26 caliber range, giving you leverage and control during cleaning sessions at the bench or in the field. Dewey rods are engineered with a nylon-coated steel construction and a ball-bearing rotating handle that glides smoothly under your palm—the kind of detail that makes the difference when you're breaking in a new barrel or maintaining a competition rifle.

What sets this rod apart is its aluminum ferrule and Copper Eliminator components. Unlike brass, aluminum won't react with ammonia-based solvents and won't leave misleading blue-green stains on your cleaning patches that could trick you into thinking you have copper fouling when you don't. You'll know exactly what's in your bore. The aluminum Copper Eliminator jag included with the rod matches the hardness of brass—tough enough to handle hard use but smooth enough to protect your bore and muzzle from damage or scratching.

Whether you're a precision rifle builder, a competitive shooter, or a hunter who cleans between seasons, a quality cleaning rod is one of those tools you reach for dozens of times over its lifetime. The Dewey .22-.26 Cal. 44'' Rod is designed to be that tool—reliable, straightforward, and built to last.

Aluminum won't react with ammonia-based solvents like brass can, and it won't leave misleading blue-green stains on your patches that might be misinterpreted as copper fouling. You'll get an accurate picture of your bore's true condition. Aluminum is also similar in hardness to brass, so it cleans effectively without scratching your bore or damaging the muzzle.

Is this rod durable for regular use?
