Hoppe's 3PA22 Deluxe 22 Cal Rifle Cleaning Rod with Swivel Handle - 34.50"

The Hoppe's 3PA22 Deluxe 22 Cal Rifle Cleaning Rod is a three-piece rifle cleaning rod built for shooters who maintain their own firearms. This 34.50-inch rifle cleaning rod features a swivel handle that prevents rod bind during cleaning—a design detail that matters when you're pushing solvent and brushes down the bore repeatedly. The aluminum and steel construction balances durability with light weight, making it comfortable to use on the bench or in the field.

The 3PA22 works with .22 to .270 caliber rifles, so whether you're cleaning a rimfire or a centerfire bolt gun, one rod handles the job. It uses the standard 8-32 thread size, which means you can swap in any brush, jag, or mop that fits your cleaning kit—no proprietary fittings to track down. A knob jag and slotted tip come included, giving you basic coverage for common cleaning tasks right out of the box.

Hoppe's cleaning rods are a staple in gun cabinets and range bags because they're straightforward, reliable, and reasonably priced. If you shoot multiple .22 or varmint rifles, or you want a versatile rod that won't require you to buy separate equipment for different calibers, the 3PA22 eliminates that friction. It's the kind of tool you set up once and forget about until your next cleaning session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers does the Hoppe's 3PA22 cleaning rod work with?

This rod is designed for .22 to .270 caliber rifles. If you have jags or brushes for calibers outside that range, you can use them with this rod as long as they fit the standard 8-32 thread.

What comes with the rod, and what do I still need to buy?

The 3PA22 includes a knob jag and a slotted tip. To complete your cleaning kit, you'll need to add brushes, patches, and cleaning solvent—the rod itself is just the delivery system for those materials.

Is this rod compatible with standard cleaning brush sets?

Yes. The rod uses the industry-standard 8-32 thread, so it works with brushes, jags, and mops that fit that specification. This is the most common thread size for rifle cleaning rods, so you'll have plenty of options.

Can I use this rod to clean multiple rifles of different calibers?

Absolutely. The .22 to .270 range covers most hunting and shooting calibers. As long as your rifles fall within that range, you can use one rod and swap out jags or brushes as needed for different calibers.
