When you shoot .17 HMR or .20 caliber rifles regularly, finding the right cleaning rod makes a real difference in maintenance routine. The Bore Tech V Stix delivers solid performance without the premium price tag of their top-tier models. This is a one-piece rod that's straightforward to use, durable enough to handle regular cleaning sessions, and engineered to protect your bore while doing the work.
Bore Tech engineered this rod specifically for the tight tolerances found in small-caliber rifles. The enhanced steel core minimizes bow and flex, so you get a straight, rigid rod that moves smoothly down the barrel. That matters because any wobbling or deflection can lead to contact with the barrel walls. The entire rod is coated with a high-performance polymer that resists chemicals and won't soften or peel, which keeps bore debris from getting embedded in the coating and scratching your barrel.
The ball bearing handle is the standout feature here. It's ergonomically designed to fit your hand comfortably but stays compact enough that it won't catch on your rifle stock during cleaning. The handle rotates freely around the rod, which means you're not fighting against friction every time you push or pull. The brass tip is replaceable and threaded with 5-40 female threads, compatible with standard .17 and .20 caliber jags and brushes. No need to swap adapters between tools, which saves time and reduces the chance of loosening connections mid-cleaning.
This rod works as a standalone tool or pairs nicely with Bore Tech cleaning solutions. The 40-inch working length covers most small-caliber rifles. When you're done cleaning, just wipe it down with a damp rag or paper towel. The color-coded handle makes it easy to grab the right rod if you own multiple calibers. Built to last through hundreds of cleaning sessions without requiring special care or storage conditions, this is the kind of cleaning rod that disappears into your kit and just does its job without complaints.
Yes. This rod is designed to work safely with both .17 and .20 caliber rifles. The 5-40 threaded tip accepts jags and brushes made for either caliber. Just swap out the jag or brush as needed for your specific bore diameter.
The 40 inches is the working length of the rod, measured from the front of the handle to the end. The overall length including the handle is 45.5 inches. This length works well for cleaning most rifle barrels without excessive rod extending past the muzzle.
While not mandatory, Bore Tech recommends using a bore guide to help keep the rod properly aligned with the bore. This minimizes contact with the barrel walls and extends the life of the rod. A bore guide is especially useful if you're cleaning rifles regularly or have tight chamber tolerances.
Simply wipe down the rod with a damp rag or paper towel after cleaning to remove any residual solvent or debris. The protective coating is durable and chemically resistant, so basic cleaning is all it needs. Store it in a dry location to prevent rust.
