Montana X-Treme 22-264 Cal 36" Cleaning Rod

The Montana X-Treme 22-264 Cal 36" Cleaning Rod is a single-piece bore cleaning tool built to handle centerfire rifle maintenance without compromise. Designed for shooters who demand durability and precision care for their firearms, this rod pairs a spring-steel construction with a proprietary nonembedding coating that resists fouling buildup and protects your bore from scoring during aggressive cleaning sessions.

Built with shooters in mind, the rod features a slim machined aluminum handle that's designed to fit between your rifle's stock and receiver when cleaning from the breech—giving you room to work without struggling against your gun's geometry. Dual bearings at the handle ends let the rod spin freely, keeping your brush or jag aligned with the rifling for consistent, full-contact cleaning. The color-coded handle takes the guesswork out of grab-and-go maintenance: you'll instantly know you're holding the right caliber for your 22-264 rifle.

Protection extends to your firearm, too. A soft aluminum ferrule at the threaded end cushions contact with the breech or muzzle, reducing the risk of cosmetic and functional damage during routine cleaning. Whether you're breaking in a new barrel or maintaining a well-used shooter, this rod is built to last and to keep your rifle's bore in top condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this 22-264 cleaning rod work with my rifle?

This rod is specifically sized and threaded for 22-264 caliber rifles. The color-coded handle helps you verify you have the correct caliber before use. If you shoot multiple calibers, verify this is the right rod for your specific rifle.

Can I clean from the breech with this rod?

Yes. The slim aluminum handle is intentionally designed to fit between your rifle's stock and receiver, giving you clearance to clean from the breech end without interference from your gun's geometry.

What's included with the rod?

You receive the one-piece cleaning rod with the machined aluminum handle, color-coded for caliber identification. The soft aluminum ferrule is integrated at the threaded end. Brushes, jags, and patches are sold separately and attach to the rod's threads.

Why does this rod have bearings in the handle?

The dual bearings at each end of the handle allow the rod to rotate smoothly while you clean. This keeps your brush or jag fully in contact with the rifling as you push it through the bore, improving cleaning effectiveness and reducing the risk of bore contact on the rod itself.
