Cleaning Rod recommendation

[Deplorable77]

Looking for one piece cleaning rods. Ball bearing handles & stainless coated rod. .222 thru .30 cal, 40- 48" long.
I've already gone the boretech route and had two come apart at the handle, bearings fall out etc so I'm not interested in continuing to throw $80 cleaning rods in the trash. Any decent USA made rods out there that will last a few years?

I just use the copper ones that come in those orange plastic packs at sporting goods stores. Never saw the need for anything other than a basic model.

Never had an issue with Bore Tech. I also use Dewey rods which have been problem free. I believe the Dewey is made here.

I really like the Dewey coated cleaning rods, I probably have 6 or 7 of them.

Dewey here too. Have one that is close to 10 years old now with no issues

Dewey as well (used with a Lucas Bore Guide)

I'm using Tiptons here with no issues.

Dewey with bore guides.

 

[Mr.Crumbz]

I’ve got a few Tiptons; the carbon fibre ones. Couldn’t be happier!

Dewey or Tipton. With a bore guide (critical!)

Dewey and Boretech never had any issues with either

Have several Dewey's - some for quite a few years. No problems with any of them.

2 dewy,2 proshot and 2 boretecs. the boretecs have been replaced by boretec. both boretecs had the coating peel years ago and boretec replaced them.

dewy is pretty bullet proof for a coated rod.

Been using Dewey for years without any issues

Bought a Bore Tech, blue handle, on Amazon several months back. Nice cleaning rod and pleased with it.

I have some Dewey and tipton, both are great

 

[Deplorable77]

Just an update, my buddy had a boretech handle come off and the customer service @boretech took care of him. Im going to give them a call

 

[CentralFLMike]

I use carbon fiber Tipton rods. No issues over several years. Whatever you decide on, use a bore guide.

Does anyone have an issue with their bushes screwing off? I would think that having a rod that spins on the handle would make this not happen. But maybe the rods I have are too cheap and don't actually spin.
