Tipton Deluxe Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rod for .17HMR -.22 caliber Rifles
I've used Tipton cleaning rods for the past 14 years, starting with my first one for my .30 caliber military and civilian arms, and now adding this version for my .22s and newly acquired Savage 93 in .17 HMR. I can't say enough good things about this product. They aren't the cheapest rods you can buy, but here the old axiom "you get what you pay for" rings especially true. They are worth definitely the money.
This new Tipton cleaning rod can handle both my .17 and my .22s, using an adapter to fit the patch holder for the larger caliber. (For the smaller .17, I use a Tipton cleaning jag since there are no patch holders available in .17 caliber.....at least, I've not been able to find any so far.) The rod handles cleaning these bores with ease. It's sturdy, very well-made, and its carbon fiber construction will not shed any extraneous material inside your bore, meaning you can use it with any of today's cleaning solvents with confidence. Being one piece, it won't bend and scratch the inside of the barrel, either. It has the standard Tipton ball-bearing handle which allows it to smoothly rotate with the lands and grooves of your barrel, ensuring thorough cleaning. Combined with quality cleaning patches such as US Arsenal and any one of the many excellent solvents on the market today, this is an unbeatable cleaning system that will give you a smooth, sparkling clean bore ready for oiling with the barrel preservative of your choice.
Robustly recommended! Go ahead and spend the $$$$--you will not regret it.
