rifle cleaning rods

[rar]

which brand do you guys use . the good and bad.

 

[kthomas]

ProShot stainless steel rods.

 

[blasted_saber]

Tipton one piece.

I like the handle shape better then other brands.

No cons that I've encountered through the last ten years

Edit - mine are carbon fibre

 

[mr00jimbo]

Dewey coated rods. Con is the pistol rod coating got stripped pretty easily. Rifle rods still seem good. I hear good things 'bout the Tiptons too but Deweys are made in the USA AFAIK.

I have been using Parker Hale one piece rods for 50 years... made adapters to use American brushes...

 

[Potashminer]

The brand name on the handle says "Kleen Bore" - polished metal - maybe stainless?? Has ball bearings in handle so brush or jag will rotate with the riflings. But at least 20 years since I bought it - have not had to find a replacement since then, so what would I know about what is available today??

Not sure the make, 36" carbon fiber 1 piece, had it for a decade and not any wear on it at all.

With no disrespect intended if your cleaning rods show wear you have damaged at least one barrel.

I know it wasn’t intended

 

[Unholysavage]

Dewey is my go-to. Bought mine all at Bass Pro

 

[conor_90]

Hoppes elite with the screwdriver style handle and brass bore guide on the brush

Meant more that the carbon fiber holding up to solvents, everyone seems to use steel rods in this thread, I don't think carbon fiber would do any damage to steel regardless.
I have one shorter blue painted steel rod, but don't use it much, some solvents melt the paint off it.

Your also going to need the adapter for the different thread pitch or all Dewey jags...
