The Hoppe's 1PSS Bench Rest Cleaning Rod delivers precision cleaning for 22 caliber and larger firearms with its one-piece stainless steel construction. This professional-grade cleaning rod eliminates the joint failures and alignment issues common with multi-piece rods.
What Makes This Different
Unlike segmented cleaning rods that can bend or separate under pressure, the 1PSS features a continuous one-piece design that maintains perfect bore alignment throughout the cleaning stroke. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from cleaning solvents and provides the rigidity needed for consistent cleaning pressure. Professional gunsmiths and competitive shooters rely on this design because it eliminates the micro-scratching that can occur when rod sections misalign.
Key Features
- One-piece stainless steel construction prevents joint separation and misalignment
- 36-inch length accommodates rifles and shotguns up to 30-inch barrels
- 8-32 threaded tip accepts standard cleaning accessories and jags
- 0.22 caliber minimum bore size compatibility extends to larger calibers
- Bench rest handle design provides secure grip and precise control
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel withstands aggressive cleaning solvents
- Straight rod design maintains consistent bore centerline alignment
The rigid stainless steel shaft maintains consistent pressure distribution across patches and brushes, ensuring thorough fouling removal without the flexing that compromises cleaning effectiveness in multi-piece rods. Benchrest competitors and precision rifle enthusiasts choose this rod because consistent cleaning translates directly to maintained accuracy. The corrosion resistance proves essential when using ammonia-based copper solvents or other aggressive cleaning chemicals.
