When I got my first Vudoo I called boretech and they set me up with everything I needed. I use the cleaning method outlined by G. Roman from Vudoo. I clean all of my Vudoos this way and have had no problems at all.

 

I use a 20 cal nylon coated Dewey rod. I haven't had that particular rod long, but I've been usung their 22 cal nylon coated rod for a long time and it's performed as it should.

 

This is a great video for both cleaning and seasoning your barrel. I had most of what Greg uses in this video and then purchased anything I didn't have so that I use the exact same tools he does with the exception I purchased two 44" cleaning rods.

 

I have a V22s set up for RFBR (ABRA/ARA), and use a BT guide, with BT 22 RF rods, and an accu-point (?) jag, with 1 1/8" square patches, no issues. BT offers CF and RF rods, so select the correct version.

 

VFG pellets are painless and clean better than patches.

 

Certainly not a 'pro'; but I am using a Tipton rod and accessories for the BSA Model 12, Model 13, a Savage 24J; and ,when I finish the restoration, a Remington Mod. 6. Prior to investing in the Tipton et al, I used a Hoppes aluminum cleaning rod for more years than I like to admit (not that the rod was an issue ) (just hate to admit to being 72).

 

I keep my rods of whatever material in a plastic sleeve and they are cleaned before and after use before storing.

 

Another recommendation for the BoreTech rimfire rod and jag. They have 2 versions of the rimfire rod, one pricier than the other, I'm sure they are both fine. BT makes nice tools. Make sure to read the sizing guide and get the correct length rod and rimfire specific skus.

I use a 44 in. Pro Shot .22 caliber uncoated rod with a bore guide. I use the long rod so the handle doesn't have to clear the stock.

 

Thought I would share this bit from Eley on cleaning:
ELEY Newsletter: Edition 7

Does a cleaner barrel mean a cleaner shot? -

With multiple years’ experience as ELEY’s UK Test Range Manager, to go alongside his team captaincy for England Smallbore Shooting Union, Martyn Buttery knows how to extract accuracy from a Rimfire barrel.

Note: I find the ELEY newsletter (easy to sign up for) to contain quite a bit of useful information, plus of course who's who in the rimfire competitive world.

 

What length rod is recommend

 

I use a 42 inch ProShot cleaning rod. I don't have to worry about my handle clearing the top of my cheek piece.

 

Just curious with that long a rod any problem with flex or bending

 

Pro shot stainless steel rods.
.17 & .20

32.5" Rifle .17 Cal. / .177 w/ Jag

36" Rifle .20 Cal. / .204 w/ .20 Cal. Jag

 

I cant imagine using an uncoated rod.

I use BoreTech coated 20 and 22 rods and always use a bore guide.

I use 20 cal jags, brushes, and rod (boretech). I originally got that size because it's what was recommended for the CZ MTR. Works great on the Vudoo and no complaints.
