CZ 457 Cleaning Rod, Bore Guide

[DaveCo]

So my Dewey 22 cal rod is very tight (I can feel lots of drag, even without a patch). I'm not comfortable running it through the bore.
What's everyone using? They have a .17-.20 rod, but you'd need adapters for .22 attachments.
Also, what bore guide? Possum Hollow lists them for the 452, but the 457 is considerably different.

Thanks in advance for any help/ thoughts...

I use 20 cal rods for my CZ’s. I use Possum Hollow bore guides for my 452’s, but don’t have one yet for my new 457.

I had the same problem with my Dewey in my 457. Ended up buying a Bore Tech guide and rod. Everything perfect now .

Do you use an adapter to use .22 jags and brushes then?
I may just give possum hollow a call and see what number they recommend

I looked at Dewey's website and they indicated that because of the tight bore dimensions on target rifles like CZ, Anshcutz, etc, they recommend using a .20 cal rod. You could also use an uncoated 22 cal because it's diameter is slightly less than the coated rod. For a bore guide, I use a short length of 5/8 inch PVC pipe with a cutout so it will clear the ejector. Cheap and effective.

If you buy the Bore Tech with their jag no adapter needed.

 

[DaveCo]

Do you use a .22 caliber boretech rod?

 

[gkgeiger]

Their rimfire rod with orange handle. You can do what I did and call them with your questions and they will head you in the right direction.

Sounds like Bore Tech for the win!!
And pjs, I'll give the pvc a try, thanks

Thanks to everyone, really appreciate the input(s)....

Seconding the Boretech rimfire rod and bore guide. It works amazing on my 457.

Heading to Scheels tomorrow morning, hopefully they'll have one. If not I'll order it.
Thanks again to everyone for the advice, really do appreciate it!!!

I just got my 457. I called Possum Hollow and was told the #92 guide. I got it yesterday and my dewey 22 cal rod is tite not comfortable with it. From reading above is their a 17 cal rod that uses regular jags or will you need an adapter for 22 cal jags. Thanks

Boretech works great for cz457

Boretech works great for cz457

Boretech said to stab the patch of the side but I am not that hopeful. I will try later tonight. I might need to try thinner patches as well.

Dewey .20 rod with .20 jag (no adaptor needed) and 1&1/4" round patches work very well in my CZ457.

Otis makes a .22 caliber brush with 5x40 threads. These will work with the .17 or .20 rods. Then use a .20 jag as Gassoline mentioned.

After changing to thinner patches it seems to be working fine now.
