Excepting the fitted kits supplied with fine English doubles, I have never seen a "nice" one.
Usually contain a bunch of ****** stuff you don't need.
A suggestion is to go to Brownell's Gun Cleaning section and select quality items that match your firearms.
Never buy or use aluminum or screw together cleaning rods.
...my $0.03 worth, YMMV

Try Otis you can find them everywhere just compare price you can get all caliber for as little as $30. got some from flea bay and all caliber from Amazon for $31. Amazon you will have to add to cart and waith for the price to come down, mine was through the used warehouse deals. It was new but outer box was bent. They are the cable system pull from breech to muzzle and you can just add what you need if you don't get the all caliber. Otis site has videos.

That's what most shooters eventually wind up doing.... buy a tackle box and build your own kit according to your needs.
You can label compartments for each caliber's components like brushes and rod tips.
I recommend buying quality one piece stainless steel cleaning rods, NOT aluminum or brass.

+4 on building your own in a tackle box....
Get a good one piece rod. (one for pistol, one for rifle)
Jag set.
Bronze brush set.
.22 and .45 patches (pretty much covers every caliber).
5 packs of bronze brushes for the calibers you use the most.
Bore cleaner and oil of your choice....
That will pretty much get anyone started, build off that as you get more calibers.....
You will never regret the little extra it costs you in the beginning. Plenty of guys here can tell you about cheap cleaning rods and "universal" cleaning kits that wind up in the garbage.

Any basic kit plus Swab-its and Ballistol. Hoppes makes a great basic kit.
