Are one piece rods worth it? Stainless or carbon? Recomendation for non boutique brand?
Also are chamber guides worth it?

Avoid steel. I prefer brass.


ETA: couldn't remember which brand I had (have had them for quite a while), but checked my email reciepts - mine are Dewey as well.

Another vote for Dewey.

Mine are the plastic coated ones. Nylon or Teflon or whatever.

I remember some internet hoopla about the coated ones having some sort of drawback but I haven?t had an issue with them for the twenty plus years I?ve been using them.

I have the nylon coated rods also, think they're great and wouldn't own anything else anymore. I have nightmares about the steel ones dad handed down and I used... I also have a couple chamber guides which are also nice to have, cheap insurance.

I have a few Bore-Tech and a few Dewey rods. Well worth it.

Bore guides are almost a must. I use Lucas and Possum Hollow.

I also like VFG bore pellets. About a million times better than fighting bullshit patches.

And you can get them at Sportsmans warehouse

Lucas Bore Guides for me, but you have to know the secret handshake to order them hahaha. actually just his email address. Haven't tried the possum Hollow ones but it's not exactly rocket science.

I have this model
.30 Caliber Nylon Coated Rod – 44 Inches. Model# 30C-44
https://deweyrods.com/product/30-caliber-nylon-coated-rod-44-inches/

I only used less than 5 times, and I really like it. It makes cleaning much easier. I would like to get .20 version of it as well.
