He guys, I just finished my rifle with a 30" 223 barrel and am stumped about cleaning rods. I've been using a 44" Tipton but my stock has a pretty high comb and the handle doesn't fit without a good bend. I took this picture quickly just to show about how close it is. My thoughts are that I am going to have to find a 50" cleaning rod or one with an extremely thin handle. I have found some that long for 30 caliber but not for 22 caliber. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it.
