The best advice I can give you is don't send any kind of brush down the bore of a 22. I use Dewey rods in all my guns and have several rods of different length but the 22s only get a dry patch and rarely if ever that. It takes too long for a 22 bore to settle back down after scrubbing the bore. I fire thousands of rounds of 22LR in competition and I don't clean the bores on any of my 22s. I have two Anschutz factory barrels and a Volquartsen that have never been brushed in 8 years and they still group tight. Dry patch only. The rest of the gun does get cleaned as normal, just not the bore. I have had good service with Dewey rods.

As far as a bore snake, if you ever break one of those off in a bore you will wish you had never seen one. It has happened and they are very difficult to remove.

I just got a 1958/59 match 54 and I think it needs cleaned I have two Vostok and a m12 and don't clean the barrel and the shoot fine just though it maybe time for a clean so I am buying a good rod it is between a Dewey or ivy never had a ivy I is twice the cost of Dewey who do you think

Thanks

I have no experience with an Ivy rod but from the pictures they appear to be uncoated. Some people swear at uncoated rods and some people swear by them.

It is solid aluminum from what I read

 

[highstandard40]

Their website says it's "chrome polished stainless steel". Aluminum would not be a good choice.

Tipton carbon fiber.

Don't know why I said aluminum that would be to soft

The bore tech rods are pretty awesome.
