The Hoppe's 3PSS Bench Rest Cleaning Rod eliminates the frustration of bent or damaged cleaning rods that can scratch barrel rifling and compromise accuracy. This precision-engineered stainless steel rod handles calibers from .22 through large bore rifles with the durability demanded by serious shooters and gunsmiths.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard aluminum or coated steel rods that flex under pressure, the 3PSS features solid 416 stainless steel construction that maintains perfect straightness throughout the cleaning stroke. The bench rest design provides superior control and eliminates the wobble common with handheld cleaning operations. Professional gunsmiths choose stainless steel rods because they won't react with solvents or leave residue in the barrel.
Key Features
- 416 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and chemical reaction with cleaning solvents
- Bench rest configuration provides stable, controlled cleaning stroke
- Universal threading accepts standard 8-32 cleaning attachments and jags
- Smooth surface finish prevents scratching of barrel crown and rifling
- Compatible with .22 caliber through large bore rifle chamberings
- Professional-grade durability withstands repeated use without bending
- Non-embedding design prevents debris pickup during cleaning process
The rigid stainless steel construction delivers consistent performance across thousands of cleaning cycles without the flex that causes cleaning patches to bunch or tear. Competitive shooters rely on this level of precision when maintaining match-grade barrels where even microscopic scratches can affect accuracy. The bench rest design allows for methodical, controlled cleaning strokes that ensure complete solvent contact with fouling.
