would this effectively clean my savage .308 22" bolt action rifle? if not can you recommend one?

The effective length of the rod not including handle measures 25 3/4". If you clean from the breech, you will have to see if it has the length for your particular rifle. I use it for my AR-15 that breaks open and works perfectly. For my Ruger 10/22, I have to use an Otis cleaning cable.

I would recommend the thicker Tipton cleaning rod 27 to 45 caliber rod. The rod itself does no cleaning. You will also need a .30 caliber jag and brush along with assorted cleaning supplies. I prefer Birchwood Casey bore cleaner but any cleaner made for nitro fouling should work. You will also need some good patches. Hoppe's patches I find to be to thin. Try some thicker cotton ones.

You should get the .27-45 cal rod for a 308. I own 3 different ones for rifles/shotguns. .17, 27-45, and the 40+. These are 36 inch rods plus handle. And 2 for pistols .17, and the 27-45. These are 12 inch plus handle. Can't beat these rods. You pay more for these but well worth the peace of mind by not worrying scratching the rifling or crown. Get the 36 inch length.

I don't think so, at least not in the housing. You could definitely clean your rifle with it, but you more than likely would not be able to carry it under the barrel. Granted I don't own an SKS, so it might work, I just wouldn't bet on it. Peace!

On my Savage Mark II rifle (.22) there is only a butt plate; therefore, I did not remove it. If your gun has an actual butt pad then you may have to remove it depending on how thick it is. You'll have to judge that for yourself. My goal with this pad was to increase LOP since my stock was a lot shorter than I liked.

no its not, u dont have to have the higher speed to clean brass, this IS the best cleaner on the market, hands down. There is nothing out there better, period. The gun stores around town are trying to become a dealer for these cleaners they work so well. Buy it and your done for a brass cleaner, you couldnt pry mine away from me. thanks

It should work fine..But i would look for a bore snake made specifically for a .308 caliber

,absolutely it'll clean all of that out all that black powder residue 1 of the best cleaners around that being said please note that I said cleaner that means inside the boar if the gun is blued keep it off the blueing long-term exposure to this could possibly cause pitting while cleaning the boar I would invert your rifle or whatever it is you're cleaning so that any excess solvent runs out to the cardboard or whatever you have it sitting on August we put something underneath the weapon tonight just let it rest on your floor as a solvent will probably eat through the linoleum or whatever you have for flooring it will eat through just about anything if its exposed long enough well I hope this helped you happy shooting

Will probably work well. I have mine on a Springfield M1a that's fires a 308 round. With the shock from the round and the movement of the bolt because its a semi auto it gets alot of vibration. It holds it's zero and have had no problems.

It works fine on my BAR Lightweight Stalker .308. Just had it on a boar hunt in rugged terrain.

it makes cleaning the bore much easier, and you will do a better job. if you have invested in the rifle it's worth spending a little more for this to keep it clean. i think you would be better off just using a bore snake rather than jamming a brush down the muzzle. you have a nice rifle, take care of it.

Ronald, this is a nice kit that will clean any gun from 22 to 45 caliber! It also includes a brass brush for 12 gauge cleaning as well. So far, I am happy with it. You will however want to buy additional cleaner, gun oil, and patches sometime down the road... good luck!

Yes, no problem. I use it on all of my rifles and hand guns regardless of caliber. I highly recommend it.

.223 is about .003" bigger than .22, I think it'll be fine for cleaning.....

I am using it on my 223 and its awesome. I use it for long range woodchucks and coyotes.

Yes you can. This set will clean most guns. The only differance is there is no solid cleaning rod. It uses cables to swab and scrub useing their own brand of patches. Go to you tube to see it in action. I like you can use it in almost all guns,and I use it regularly,but I still like a solid cleaning rod. The brushes are cheap as well they don't last very long. I think they should have used a stiff nylon brushes instead

This kit works on .22 caliber to .45 caliber rifles and pistols. It is a set of bore brushes, bore swabs, and cleaning patch holders for cleaning barrels of firearms. Unless you have an AR in .204 Ruger (or smaller), or .50 Beowulf, it should work fine. Of course it doesn't include all the gimmicky stuff specific to AR's designed for the civilian market, such as star pads and such, but no universal kit does. Get yourself a set of cleaning brushes to go with it; and if you really want a chamber brush, bolt carbon remover, barrel extension cleaner, or any of that other stuff, you should find a separate kit that has all that in it.

Yes and then some! It will clean almost every caliber small arms rifle, pistol, revolver, and shotgun. The pull cable system instead of the rod system is more compact and easier to use in my opinion. Love this cleaning kit!

Hornady makes a gun parts cleaner (black label) for their sonic cleaner II. Follow the instructions. It works great. Supposed to be ok for all types of finishes...(Mine is stainless). Cleanest my Kimber has ever been.
