For rods, I like Dewey. A good brass brush and a brass jag for for any 22 caliber and once in a while an old 24 brush for the chamber. Bore guide, if it's just a cheap rifle I use what ever I have that will fit. For the Cooper I bought one made for it as I would any expensive rifle.
Just like centerfires, I usually don't clean the bore until accuracy starts to suffer. Very rarely do I go to bare metal. Usually just a few strokes with a brush then a few patches with solvent then a few more to dry the bore.
Semi auto bores get cleaned very sparingly if it has to get a rod from the chamber end. Go slow and be careful. I've thought about trying the Otis cable system on them but never have broke down and bought one or even asked opinions of them.
Works for me.
YMMV.
Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight.
What do you get when you cross a polar bear with a seal? A polar bear.
Did you hear they arrested the devil? Yeah, they got him on possession.
