Bore Tech .17 Caliber Proof-Positive Bore Stix, 40in, Grey

The Bore Tech .17 Caliber Proof-Positive Bore Stix (brand part no. BSTX-1740-00) is a one-piece coated cleaning rod built around a free-floating, dual ball-bearing handle so the rod follows the rifling instead of twisting against it. Bore Tech pairs that handle with a proprietary, non-brass Proof-Positive tip and a durable coating that resists scoring the bore, plus a grey color-coded grip that identifies the caliber at a glance. For handloaders and precision shooters who clean often, this rod is built to outlast a fixed cleaning rod many times over.

Key Specifications

• Sized for .17 Caliber bores, matching the color-coded handle.
• Measures 40in in length, sized to run the full length of a rifle barrel.
• Features a free-floating, dual ball-bearing handle that follows the rifling without twisting.
• Fitted with a non-brass Proof-Positive tip that won’t cause false copper-fouling readings.
• Finished in a grey color-coded coating for quick caliber identification and reduced friction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the ball-bearing handle useful? It lets the rod spin freely with the rifling instead of twisting in your hand, which keeps jags and brushes from unscrewing mid-stroke.

Is the rod safe to use with copper-removing solvents? Yes, the non-brass Proof-Positive tip won’t react with copper removers the way a traditional brass rod tip can.
