The Bore Tech Bore Stix .22 caliber 25-inch rimfire rod is a one-piece coated cleaning rod aimed at folks who take care of their .22 LR rifles and want a tool that does the job right. The rimfire version runs about 0.015 inches smaller in diameter than the centerfire rod, which helps it clear the ejectors and choked barrels you often see on rimfire guns. That slimmer profile matters more than people think, since a rod that drags or catches inside a tight rimfire bore is asking for trouble.
The heart of this rod is a caliber-specific high-strength steel core coated in a low-friction, chemically resistant finish. That combination keeps bow and flex to a minimum while protecting the bore from the kind of scratching a bare metal rod can cause. The free-floating dual ball bearing handle is the real standout here. It lets the rod rotate with the rifling as you push through, so your jag or brush stays threaded instead of backing off mid-stroke. The handle also wears a color-coded, non-slip rubber grip that tells you at a glance which caliber you've grabbed.
Instead of a brass tip, the Bore Stix uses a replaceable non-brass Proof-Positive tip. If you run copper-removing solvents, a brass tip can leave blue on your patch and fool you into thinking your barrel still has fouling. This tip removes that false reading so you actually know when the bore is clean. It's a female threaded tip machined for a smooth transition to Bore Tech Proof-Positive jags, and it swaps between jags and brushes without needing extra adapters.
Rod tips use either 5/40 or 8/32 threads depending on the model, and the Bore Stix line even includes a barrel twist rate identification system for the detail-oriented crowd. Pair it with a bore guide and this rod earns its keep on the bench for years.
Yes, the .22 rimfire rod works fine on a .22 centerfire rifle. The rimfire version is about 0.015 inches smaller in diameter to clear ejectors and choked rimfire barrels, so it fits both. Just don't run a .22 centerfire rod through a rimfire barrel, since the larger diameter isn't meant for it.
Brass tips can leave a blue tint on your patch when you use copper-removing solvents, which makes it look like your barrel still has copper fouling when it doesn't. The Proof-Positive tip is non-brass, so you get a true reading and know when the bore is actually clean. It's also replaceable, so you can freshen it up down the road.
Yes, that's the point of the free-floating dual ball bearing handle. It lets the rod spin freely and follow the rifling as you push through the barrel, so the rotation doesn't back your jag or brush off the threads. It's one of the features owners tend to notice right away.
Bore Tech rod tips are female and use either 5/40 or 8/32 threads depending on the model, with the exact spec listed for each rod. The Proof-Positive tip lets you switch between jags and brushes without extra adapters. It's machined for a smooth transition to Bore Tech Proof-Positive jags to protect the crown.
