The Kleenbore Super Carbon Fiber Rifle Cleaning Rod 44" .22–6.5mm (Model: SCF-44/22-6.5) is a rigid, single-piece firearm maintenance tool designed for precision cleaning across small-to-medium rifle calibres. Built with a 44-inch (approximately 111.8 cm) working length, it provides sufficient reach for long-barrel rifles fitted with bore guides. Its non-marring carbon fiber shaft will not take a permanent bend or set under pressure, shielding bore rifling and crowns from scratches while resisting aggressive cleaning solvents, degreasers, and moisture. An ergonomic handle fitted with dual ball bearings ensures the attached brush or jag follows the barrel's rifling twist naturally during the stroke.

Key Features

• 1-Piece Carbon Fiber Construction: Delivers high rigidity without permanent bending, protecting delicate rifling from abrasion.

Who is the Kleenbore Super Carbon Fiber Rifle Cleaning Rod 44" .22-6.5mm for?

• Precision rifle shooters — Requires the 44-inch working length of this single-piece carbon fiber cleaning rod to clear long target barrels up to 30 to 32 inches when using an action bore guide.
• Hunters with mid-calibre bolt actions — Relies on the #8-32 female thread and .22 to 6.5mm diameter shaft to push standard jags through rifles chambered in .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, or 6.5mm Creedmoor without rod flex or crown damage.

Less suitable for: Barrels shorter than 20 inches, where a 44-inch rod reduces working control compared to a 26-inch or 36-inch cleaning rod; calibres smaller than .22 caliber (such as .17 or .20), which require a sub-calibre rod; and calibres of .270, 7mm, or .30 caliber and above, which require a larger-diameter .30-calibre cleaning rod to prevent excessive flex.
