Best value cleaning equipment?
I have a Remington 700P in .308.
I've been looking at the Bore Tech patch guide and cleaning rods but I can't justify spending almost $100 on a cleaning rod/bore guide. It looks like a really great system but it sure is pricey! What's the best alternative?
I want a 44" coated cleaning rod and a decent bore guide that will protect my bore. Preferably made in the USA. What do you guys use?
Thanks!

An outers kit at Walmart should be under $20.

I don't think Outers makes a rod long enough.. I need a 44" rod so I can clean from the bolt side of the bore and have enough length for the 26" barrel and the bore guide.

Buy 2 0f 'em! 
Seriously, for a barrel that long you
probably want a good rod, not a Wal-mart quick kit.

Maybe it was the Hoppe's kit, anyway I have two shotguns with 36" bbls. and it works with the longer tip accessories. A good coated rod one piece rod will cost more than two aluminum kits. A plastic chamber guide will help, and is fairly inexpensive.

I think aluminum is too soft and could end up leaving residue inside the barrel. I like coated rods for worthwhile rifles.
I would also like to find a 9mm hi-power
