The Real Avid Bore Boss .22 Cal Rifle/Shotgun Cleaning Tool brings field-proven simplicity to rifle and shotgun maintenance. At 32 inches long, this bore cleaning tool is built to handle full-length rifle barrels—a genuine upgrade from the tangled rope and cable setups that have frustrated shooters for years. The single-piece dual-action cable design eliminates the mess and frustration of traditional bore cleaning, giving you a straightforward, portable solution that lives in its own case when you're done.

Whether you're cleaning a rimfire rifle after a range session, maintaining a shotgun between hunts, or field-stripping gear during an expedition, the Bore Boss stores and deploys in seconds. The flexible case handle serves dual duty: it protects your cable and brush during transport and gives you a comfortable grip while cleaning. Just open the case, feed the cable through your barrel, clip it for stability, and pull—the phosphor bronze brush and braided mop do the work without the mess of loosening ropes from patches and wadding.

Built for shooters who value reliability and simplicity, the Bore Boss cuts through the marketing speak and delivers what actually works in the field. The durable polycarbonate handle is wrapped in flexible overmolding for comfort, and the cable itself is engineered for smooth, consistent pulling without snagging. If you shoot .22 rifles or .22-compatible shotguns, this tool earns its place in your cleaning kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 32-inch cable long enough for my rifle barrel?

Yes. The 32-inch cable is designed to handle full-length rifle barrels, including standard and magnum rifle profiles. If you also shoot shorter-barreled firearms like pistols or compact shotguns, Real Avid makes a 12-inch version of the Bore Boss for those guns.

What's included, and how do I use it?

You get the complete tool: the polycarbonate handle with flex-case storage, the 32-inch dual-action cable, phosphor bronze brush, and braided mop. To use it, open the case, feed the cable through your barrel, clip it for a secure grip, and pull to clean. The cable attaches to the handle quickly and easily.

Can I use this on shotguns?

Yes. This tool works on .22 Cal rifles and .22-compatible shotguns. The 32-inch cable is long enough for most standard shotgun barrels.

What makes this different from a traditional bore rope or jag-and-rod setup?

The Bore Boss eliminates the mess and complexity of tangled ropes and separate components. The integrated case stores the cable neatly, the brush and mop stay attached, and the pull-through action is faster and more consistent than traditional methods. Setup and cleanup take seconds instead of minutes.
