TAPCO TAP22077 30" Pro-Tuff Rifle Cleaning Rod .22 Caliber

The TAPCO TAP22077 Pro-Tuff rifle cleaning rod delivers professional-grade bore maintenance for .22 caliber firearms with its 30-inch length and durable construction. This cleaning rod addresses the common problem of inadequate reach and flexibility that plagues standard cleaning kits, particularly for rifles with longer barrels.

What Makes This Different

The Pro-Tuff construction utilizes a flexible yet sturdy design that prevents bore damage while maintaining the rigidity needed for effective cleaning. Unlike basic steel rods that can scratch rifling or cheap aluminum options that bend under pressure, this rod incorporates materials engineered specifically for repetitive cleaning cycles. The 30-inch length accommodates most .22 caliber rifles without requiring multiple rod sections that can come loose during cleaning.

Key Features

• 30-inch overall length handles standard and long-barrel .22 caliber rifles
• Pro-Tuff construction resists bending and maintains straightness
• Bore-safe materials prevent rifling damage during cleaning
• Standard threading accepts most .22 caliber cleaning accessories
• Single-piece design eliminates connection points that can separate
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended cleaning sessions
• Compatible with patches, brushes, and jags for comprehensive cleaning

Field performance demonstrates consistent reliability across various .22 caliber platforms, from precision target rifles to semi-automatic sporting guns. The rod maintains its shape through hundreds of cleaning cycles, making it suitable for high-volume shooters and competitive marksmen who require frequent barrel maintenance. Weather-resistant materials ensure the rod performs equally well in humid conditions or after exposure to cleaning solvents.
