Current CZ457 owners: I recently purchased a CZ 457 Varmint MTR in 22LR, expecting delivery within the next couple of days. Since this is my first rimfire rifle (own a few handguns), I am not 100% clear on cleaning equipment, and would appreciate it highly if you could let me know if the below are necessary / sufficient to keep my new rifle in good working order:
i) Rod: considering ordering the Boretech 0.20" Borestix in 40" size, or should I get the 44" one? Heard that Pro Shot is also recommended but can't figure out which one from the myriad of options there. What do you recommend?
ii) Bore Guide: Boretech Patch Guide (rimfire) (expensive) or the Rimfire Bore Guide (better price). Was told that the Patch Guide is better but have no idea so would appreciate feedback from those who have one or both.
iii) Rifle patch loops & Jag - not sure if the rod comes with them. Presume one each should be enough?
iv) Nylon brush / Bronze brush - I know I need them - how many do you recommend (trying to balance total cost with shipping cost)?
v) C4 carbon remover vs Eliminator - thoughts?
vi) Rimfire blend.
vii) Chamber Mops - needed? Which size?
viii) Grease - suggestions?
ix) 1" patches - best to order from Boretech or is Amazon a good source? Right size for a 22LR?
Anything that I am forgetting or don't need?
Apologies for all these questions... then again, I am a NuBee.
