Just recently re-barreled my 284 and went from a 30 inch to a 32 inch barrel only to realize my cleaning rod will not work. I have been running Pro-shot cleaning rods for a few years and find them excellent but they only make a 42 inch rod, I need a 48 inch. I ordered one from a reputable maker but is not even close to being straight. They are replacing it free of charge with another one. If this one comes through crooked I will be looking to go with a different brand. I would like your opinions on the best cleaning rods out there. Thanks
