36" Coated Rifle Rod .22 Cal. - 6.5mm

The Pro-Shot Products 36" Coated Rifle Rod for .22 caliber and 6.5mm is a precision cleaning tool designed for shooters who demand accuracy and reliability in bore maintenance. This one-piece cleaning rod features a coated exterior that protects both the rod and barrel interior from corrosion and friction during the cleaning cycle. The 36-inch length accommodates most rifle platforms while remaining compact enough for field-expedient maintenance, making it suitable for range sessions, training exercises, and remote shooting operations where bore fouling accumulates and requires immediate attention.

Weighing just 0.56 pounds, the rod is light enough for pack integration without adding significant load. The coated finish reduces the risk of bore scoring—a critical concern when maintaining firearms used in precision or high-volume shooting where barrel condition directly impacts group consistency. The .22 caliber and 6.5mm compatibility addresses two distinct shooting disciplines: rimfire training and center-fire precision rifle work, each with different fouling characteristics and cleaning intervals. Pro-Shot Products manufactures this rod to standard cleaning rod specifications, ensuring compatibility with conventional rod guides, bore guides, and cleaning patches across both caliber families.

This cleaning rod is built for shooters and rifle technicians who perform routine bore maintenance as part of their equipment management discipline. Whether maintaining a .22 rimfire rifle for small-game hunting or competition, or servicing a 6.5mm precision rifle used in long-range shooting, tactical training, or hunting applications, a dedicated one-piece rod eliminates the need for multi-piece takedown assemblies that can introduce alignment errors during cleaning. Operators and enthusiasts who prioritize bore longevity and maintain detailed maintenance logs recognize that consistent use of a quality coated rod extends barrel life and preserves accuracy.
