What are you guys using for a cleaning rod? There is a lot of info out there that is for and against each type. I am torn between solid brass, coated, stainless steel, and carbon fiber. Each seem to have negatives, I don't want to do any damage to my bore.

Tipton. You can't go wrong with Dewey either, I just prefer the bigger handle of the Tipton Rods.

I switched to Tipton carbon fiber when they first came out and have never looked back.

And, awwaaay we go.

No complaints with a Dewey Rod.

Tipton carbon fiber.

Tipton or Dewey stainless. as long as you use a good set of jags and a good action type bore guide you will be fine.

1. Dewey/Bore-tech

2. Tipton not a bad rod until the brass foreend comes off it.

3. There are other uber expensive cleaning rods that the BR guys use

This is my preference as well.

As was previously stated, get a good set of jags; I prefer the Parker Hale style from Dewey and I'll add, get a bore guide. I prefer the Lucas bore guides, but others will work.

Tipton

Im a Dewey rod man myself. I did end up with a Tipton but the end busted off. Probably my fault. I use a tipton brush and jig set.

(thinking back to the cheap bastard of a week ago who just couldn't see the light)

I see you still got the same smartazz mouth you had a week or so ago !

What'd YOU end up doing by the way? Just stick to the same old same old?

I ordered a Dewey 22 caliber coated rod and a couple of extra adapters.
Should have been here already but I suppose the Holiday is the hold up.
I still haven,t made up my mind to get the Possum Hollow or one of the universal Bore guides.

You're learning grasshopper. I took me a while too . . .

Tipton carbon fiber for me.
