What are you using to clean your rifles? I am wanting to get a consensus of what people are keeping in their cleaning kit? Is it different for home vs range/travel? Let's not even begin the debate on how often to clean, just what rods, patches/pellets, brushes, cleaners, lubricants, tools etc do you think are mandatory in a proper kit to maintain your rifle?

Boretech cleaners and Dewey Rods with Pro-Shot patches and whoevers jags and nylon bore brush.
Not the same grade, but I also keep a Breakthrough universal cleaning kit in my pack. It's got a classic assembly type cleaning rod so not the ideal for precision guns, but man, it's got me out of a few binds hey.

boretech makes good products ime.
I go for whatever brand cotton patches are on sale.
I have an old Tipton carbon fiber rod I use.
I like undersized nylon brushes with patches to apply chemicals, and appropriately sized nylon brushes and patches to clean and dry at the end.

Patch out solvent, dewey brass rods, tipton ultra jag set, pro-shot bronze brushes and cotton patches, a variety of bore guides, cheap teslong bore scope, empty fruit juice bottle over the muzzle to catch the patches, splatter, and smell.
Hornady does a podcast series on cleaning BTW. I believe it is the best information I have ever heard on the subject. Those guys clean a lot of barrels.
