Tipton Deluxe Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rod, 6.5mm/.264 Cal, 40-Inch

The Tipton Deluxe Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rod in 6.5mm/.264 caliber at 40 inches (brand part no. 182978R) is sized for the popular 6.5mm and .264 caliber rifle family, a caliber range that’s grown with the rise of 6.5 Creedmoor and similar cartridges. Tipton builds it from carbon fiber, combining the best features of stainless steel and coated rods: it can’t scratch a bore like stainless steel, and it won’t embed grit into its surface like a coated rod does over repeated use. The rod can flex to an extreme degree under pressure and return to its original straightness rather than taking a permanent bend. At 40 inches, it’s sized to clear a standard 6.5mm rifle barrel in a single stroke.
