Pro-Shot 17R Bore Brush - .17 Cal Rifle, 5-40" Thread, Bronze Bristles, Brass Core

The Pro-Shot 17R bore brush is a rifle cleaning tool built for shooters who demand consistent, reliable bore maintenance. Chambered specifically for .17 caliber rifles, this brush features a brass core and bronze bristles—the same construction Pro-Shot has used in competition and benchrest shooting for decades. The bronze bristles provide effective fouling removal without abrading the bore, making it suitable for regular cleaning cycles without worry of unintended wear.

Built for durability, the brush is oversized to extend its working life through frequent use. The brass core and coupling resist corrosion and maintain integrity across many cleaning sessions. Threading follows the American Standard #5-40 pattern, compatible with standard Pro-Shot cleaning rods and most universal rod systems using that spec.

Whether you're maintaining a dedicated .17 target rifle, keeping a varmint gun ready between range sessions, or running a competition gun that sees regular cleaning, this brush does the job without fuss. It's a straightforward, no-frills tool from a maker with a proven track record in serious shooting circles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this brush fit my .17 caliber rifle cleaning rod?

The Pro-Shot 17R uses an American Standard #5-40 thread, the industry standard for .17 caliber brushes. It will fit any cleaning rod compatible with that thread pattern. Check your rod's specifications to confirm compatibility.

What makes bronze bristles better for bore cleaning than steel?

Bronze is softer than steel and the barrel steel, so it removes fouling and buildup without risk of scratching or damaging the bore surface—important for maintaining accuracy and bore longevity in precision rifles.

How often should I replace this brush?

Pro-Shot brushes are designed to be oversized for extended life. Replace it when the bristles become noticeably worn or splayed and no longer make firm contact with the bore during cleaning.

Is this brush suitable for competition or target shooting?

Yes. Pro-Shot's Benchrest Quality line has been used in competition shooting for years and has been credited with several world records. This brush is built for shooters who clean frequently and demand consistent performance.
