[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1080039, member: 50867"] IMO, the kit you descirbe is not adequate in and of itself and the brass cleaning rod is not something I would use. As a minimum you will need a good quality cleaning rod (I like the Dewey one piece nylon covered rods) the appropriate jag(s) and brushes, cleaning patches, solvent, a support to hold your rifle while cleaning (I use the Tipton Best Gun Vise) and a good quality bore guide. From there, in my experience, every shooter builds his own cleaning kit and usually ends up with a lot of stuff he uses once and never uses again. But that's another story. i have designed and built some specialized cleaning tools for my rifles, including special brushes and "reaching" tools that get into the tight spaces along with a bore scope and bore scope guide. I also made a butt to action stock cover that prevents solvent from running into the trigger housing. Once you get started you'll discover what works best for you. [/QUOTE]
