Why shooters choose the Ripcord for .17 caliber

• True one-pass cleaning: The rigid, helical core maintains contact with the bore, delivering friction where it counts so you can clear fouling fast—often in one pull.

• Heat-ready Nomex® outer: Engineered to tolerate warm barrels, so you don’t have to wait for a full cool-down before running a quick clean.

• .17-caliber precision fit: Sized specifically for .172" bores used by .17 HMR, .17 WSM, .17 Hornet, .17 Remington, .17 Mach 2, and other .17-cal rifles.

• 5-40 threaded interface: Use the 5-40 thread to attach compatible .17-cal pull handles or other micro-caliber accessories as your routine demands.

• 36" overall length: Optimized to reach muzzle crowns on long rifle barrels while allowing comfortable, breech-to-muzzle pulls.

• Packable, field-ready: Rolls tight, stows in pockets, pouches, or stock compartments for on-the-go maintenance.

• Solvent-friendly materials: Nomex®/rubber construction stands up to typical bore cleaners and CLPs used in routine care.

How the Ripcord® improves your cleaning routine

• Engages the rifling: The internal helical profile helps the cleaner “bite” into lands and grooves, sweeping out carbon, powder residue, and light lead/copper fouling.

• Breech-to-muzzle motion: Follows best-practice cleaning direction to push debris out of the crown, not back into the action.

• Compatible workflow: Run the Ripcord dry for quick wipes or pair with your preferred bore cleaner/CLP for deeper sessions.

• Protects precision: A clean bore restores shot-to-shot consistency—critical for small-caliber varmint rigs and target rifles where tiny groups matter.
