Montana X-Treme .338 - .50 Cal Cleaning Rod 56"
A quality cleaning rod is non-negotiable for keeping a rifle's bore in top shape, and the Montana X-Treme .338 - .50 Cal Cleaning Rod is built to handle the demands of magnum and large-caliber shooters. This 56-inch single-piece rod is made from coated spring steel that resists bending under the pressure needed to scrub out stubborn fouling, and its proprietary coating prevents dirt and grit from embedding—keeping your barrel's rifling protected shot after shot.
Field maintenance is smoother with smart design touches: a slim, ergonomic aluminum handle sized to fit breech-side cleaning without contacting your stock, and ball bearings at each end that let the rod rotate freely so your brush or jag stays fully engaged with the rifling. Color-coded handles make it easy to grab the right rod for your caliber. The threaded end is fitted with a soft aluminum ferrule to shield your breech or muzzle crown from accidental dings.
Whether you're deep-cleaning after a hunting trip or running regular maintenance at the range, this rod delivers the durability and precision that magnum cartridges demand.
