2022 Review: Best 6.5 Creedmoor Cleaning Kits

Best Overall:
Tac Shield Rifle Cleaning Kit

The Tac Shield AR10 Rifle Cleaning Kit is a fantastic kit that can be taken relatively anywhere or added to any hobbyist’s collection of tools for their 6.5 Creedmoor. Due to its size and shape, you can easily fit into any daypack or bag for the range and is an ideal choice if you plan to perform maintenance on your weapon over the course of a competition or if you just tend to move from place to place.

It comes with 17 distinct pieces and has a pull-through coated cable/rod system that also has brushes, mops, and tips for your rifle. A double-ended utility brush adds to the cleaning capability of this kit.

There’s also a double-ended metal pick or carbon scraper and 25 cleaning patches. This kit is a perfect choice if maintaining a high-performing 6.5 Creedmoor is your primary concern.

It doesn't have very many replacement parts and lacks some of the heavier tools that are necessary for in-depth repair or rebuilding, but it's a good everyday kit that can handle most of the problems that you'll come across from daily or weekly use of your 6.5 Creedmoor. It's also incredibly affordable, to boot.

Bottom Line

This is a lightweight, compact kit that can be added to any range bag or workbench. It has everything you need for most typical problems and repair jobs that occur from frequent use of the 6.5 Creedmoor.

GLORYFIRE Universal Gun Cleaning Kit

On the opposite end of types of cleaning kits, we have the GLORYFIRE Universal Gun Cleaning Kit. This is heavier but much more thorough in its cleaning capabilities than the previous kit we reviewed. It has 111 pieces in total and has a multitude of different cleaning patches and brushes that can be used for guns of all types and sizes.

There are three distinct brushes, three brass rods for rifles, and three brass rods for pistols or shotguns. This allows you to clean virtually every firearm in your arsenal with one the singular purchase. This helps to make its somewhat high price a lot more reasonable when you consider all the value you get from the one purchase.

The item comes in a carrying case that has a convenient handle and allows you to take it anywhere. The overall weight isn’t so heavy as to dissuade you from taking it to a shooting competition or on the road. It also comes with 50 cleaning patches right out of the box, so you won’t need to replenish these anytime soon.

Bottom Line

This is a thorough cleaning set with a multitude of great pieces and brushes suitable for cleaning both rifles and smaller firearms. This allows you to purchase one kit for most of your firearm cleaning needs, not just those of your 6.5 Creedmoor.

Best for the Money:
Real Avid Gun Boss Pro Universal Cleaning Kit

The Real Avid Gun Boss Pro Universal Cleaning Kit is another great universal type that can handle the cleaning needs of all of your firearms at one time. It comes with a series of rods, brushes, and other tools, along with a host of cleaning cloths to allow you to tackle all of your daily or weekly cleaning tasks.

The brass rods are special in that they are made to be separated into three different lengths. This allows for fewer pieces than the other universal kit we looked at while still being able to handle all types of firearm cleaning. Despite this modular functionality, the rods are still very strong and quite capable of cleaning any firearm.

All of the pieces are transported in another handy carrying case that comes with a convenient handle. The case and everything inside won’t be too heavy for most users.

The only thing that would make this better is if it came with some kind of lubricant for cleaning. Even though it lacks this, we can’t be too disappointed because you're already getting fantastic value for money given the sheer variety of cloths, rods, and brushes.

Bottom Line

This is another universal set that can clean any type of firearm and has the brushes and cleaning cloths to prove it. Everything can be contained in a single carry case that has a solid handle and allows you to withstand its moderate weight with no trouble.

4. Hoppe’s Cleaning Kit With Aluminum Rod

[amazon fields="B0014VTS52" image="1" value="thumb" image_size="large" image_align="center" image_link="none"]

One of the messiest areas the 6.5 Creedmoor can expect to have is the barrel. Therefore, having a cleaning kit that is specifically focused on making sure that your firearm’s barrel is clean might be a great idea. This especially true if you notice your weapon behaving differently after firing or short while. Hoppe’s No. 9 Cleaning Kit is the perfect solution for cleaning the barrel of any 6.5 Creedmoor.

The rod used to clean the barrel is made from aluminum, which endows it with extra strength and durability in comparison to its competitors. You won’t find that this rod bends very easily and can be used for multiple weapons over multiple years without any trouble.

Further adding to the value of this kit is the lubricating oil and cleaning fluid that comes with the purchase. They come in separate bottles, and you can use the cleaning fluid to assist with the nitty-gritty of the cleaning session. Once the actual barrel has been fully cleaned, you can use the lubricating oil to put things back together or assist with other cleaning tasks. There’s enough fluid in both bottles to last you for some time.

All of this being said, it can’t clean much more than the barrel because it lacks pieces. All it really comes with is the rod, oil, and lubricant. This means that it’s best used as an accessory to more complete kits or as a focused fix if you found that your 6.5 Creedmoor’s barrel tends to get dirty very quickly.

Bottom Line

This item is ideal for clean the barrel 6.5 Creedmoor, but little else. The rod is made from aluminum and will last longer than traditional brass rods, and the cleaning fluid and lubricating oil are excellent additions to boost the effectiveness and thoroughness of your efforts.

5. Pro Shot .25 Caliber Rifle Box Cleaning Kit

[amazon fields="B008PL7JB4" image="1" value="thumb" image_size="large" image_align="center" image_link="none"]

Now let’s take a look at the Pro-Shot .25 Caliber Rifle Box Cleaning Kit. It comes with a host of great cleaning tools that are all made of a red anodized aluminum. This is of particular interest because the aluminum quality will ensure that it lasts for a long time and its anodized finish will resist corrosion and last even longer.

The kit also comes with a cleaner/lubricant combination fluid which you can apply all at once. This will speed up your cleaning session and boost the overall quality of the cleaning of your 6.5 Creedmoor. There are a number of cleaning patches that are included with the kit, so you will not need to restock those any time soon, either.

The kit is very compact and can be carried with a comfortable handle. It's an ideal purchase if you move around a lot or tend to take your 6.5 Creedmoor to gun shows for hunting expeditions and always want the ability to clean it close at hand.

It’s a little pricey, and it doesn’t have as many pieces as some of the other kits on our list, but it provides exceptional value in the addition of the lubricant/cleaner fluid really elevates it to be a product worthy of consideration.

Bottom Line

This item provides great value and has a number of great cleaning brushes and rods that utilize corrosion-resistant materials on the handles to increase its lifespan. There’s also a lubricant/cleaner combination fluid that we really like.
