Hoppe's 3PSS Bench Rest Stainless Steel Cleaning Rod for .22 Cal & Larger Universal Firearms

A quality cleaning rod is foundational to keeping your firearms running right, and the Hoppe's 3PSS Bench Rest Stainless Steel Cleaning Rod is built for serious maintenance work. This three-piece rod is machined from stainless steel—a material choice that resists corrosion and won't rust even in humid conditions or after extended storage. The design is universal, fitting rifles and shotguns from .22 caliber on up, so whether you're working on a rimfire plinker, a centerfire hunting rifle, or a shotgun, this rod handles the job without requiring multiple tools.

Bench rest rods are thicker and more rigid than field cleaning rods, which means less flex and deflection when you're applying real scrubbing pressure to remove fouling and carbon buildup. That stability translates to safer, more effective bore cleaning and longer cleaning session comfort if you spend time at the bench. The three-piece design lets you configure the rod length you need for your barrel, or break it down for compact storage in a cleaning kit or gun safe.

Hoppe's has been the standard for gun cleaning for over a century, and this rod carries that heritage forward. Whether you're maintaining a collection, preparing firearms for the season, or doing deep cleaning after a day at the range, this is a no-frills, workhorse tool that earns its place on any serious shooter's bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cleaning rod work with my .22 rifle and my 12-gauge shotgun?

Yes. The Hoppe's 3PSS is designed as a universal rod for rifles and shotguns .22 caliber and larger, so it accommodates both rimfire rifles and shotguns in common gauges.

What's the advantage of a bench rest rod over a field cleaning rod?

Bench rest rods are thicker and more rigid, which reduces flex and deflection during use. This stability makes them better suited for thorough bore cleaning at the bench, where you're putting more pressure on the rod and can work more deliberately than in the field.

Can I store the three pieces separately?

Yes. The three-piece design breaks down for storage or transport, so you can keep them in your cleaning kit, range bag, or gun safe without taking up much space.
