Quick question for you guys...
What do you like for cleaning rods? Seems like Dewey makes a great product at a decent price... is there another option I should look at? |

I only ever run Boresnakes through my rimfires. I'll be interested to see the replies here.

Dewey one piece is all I've ever used.

The only rifle cleaning rods I own are Tipton "Deluxe 1-Piece Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rods" (LINK). I also use a Dewey 1 piece brass pistol cleaning rods (LINK) to clean/mop my (center fire) chambers.
Having said that, I use boresnakes more than anything else for rifles... For pistols, I usually use rods & conventional cleaning materials. |

I use a Tipton carbon fiber .20 rod. Works pretty good when needed but I mostly just yank a bore snake through.

I have a Dewey, but use an Otis wire for my rimfires. I sometimes use the Dewey on 5.56.

for my .22LR I just use the Bore Boss that I use on my AR15. Works plenty good.

I don't clean my rimfires very often. When I do, it's with a Dewey, black-coated rod. Sometimes, I just pull it thru the bore rather than push and pull (OCD?).
Either way, I work from the chamber end. I also use a rod guide appropriate for the action I am working on. |

Dewey one piece when at home on the cleaning bench. Boresnake when not at home for a quick clean.
