If you use a brass or aluminum cleaning rod you shouldn't need a guide. The metal of these rod's are way softer than the steel barrel.
Otherwise here are a couple of suggestions...
Breech type: https://www.amazon.com/Bore-Tech-22Rf-4 ... ef=sr_1_17?
Muzzle type: https://www.amazon.com/Gunn-Innovations ... ef=sr_1_12?

Or...If you're wanting to be frugal...you can drill out the primer pocket on an old casing and slip it over the cleaning rod. It'll keep you centered in the chamber. Tuck a piece of cloth down below to keep solvent out of the action.

5shot..............You took the words right outta my mouth.............Even cheaper is using a plastic soda straw.
Another idea is to get some heat shrink tubing and shrink it down over your cleaning rod.....Then no bore guide needed.
