Hoppe's Elite 17 Cal Rifle Cleaning Rod - 36" Carbon Fiber, Male Ended

The Hoppe's Elite 17 Cal Rifle Cleaning Rod is a 36-inch carbon fiber cleaning rod built for serious rifle maintenance. Whether you're cleaning centerfire or rimfire rifles, this one-piece rod delivers the straightness and durability you need for thorough, reliable bore cleaning without the flex or chatter of lesser materials. The male-ended design accepts standard jags and brushes, making it compatible with your existing cleaning kit components.

Carbon fiber construction keeps the rod rigid through extended cleaning sessions, resisting the wear and warping that can compromise accuracy and bore condition over time. The ergonomic handle is designed for comfort during repetitive scrubbing, and the premium double ball-bearing rotation system spins freely while staying gentle on your barrel's lands and grooves. You get the control and feedback you need to tackle stubborn fouling without risk of accidental scoring.

At 36 inches, this rifle cleaning rod reaches deep into longer barrels where shorter rods fall short. It's a genuine upgrade from basic steel rods—lighter, stronger, and built to last through years of regular cleaning. If you're serious about barrel care and want a cleaning rod that won't let you down, this is the kind of tool that earns its place in your cleaning kit.
