Cleaning rod length

[savageshooter86]

Those running 32" barrels what length cleaning rod length are you using?

Thanks

44" or longer. Consider the length of your action plus bore guide.

Another consideration when approaching the longer lengths is the construction of the rod, and stiffness.

I'm leaning towards Bore Stix

AS SAID BORE STIX !!!!!!! GOOD CHOICE

Bore guide is 14". Barrel is 32. So my option is 48" or 52" Bore Stix.

I would save your money and look at a different brand. I have two of their rods and the coating is peeling off both rods. This is my second go around with them and I'm done. The last thing you want is the coating to peel off inside your barrel or get behind the lugs on your action.

I agree with James. I bought a pair when they first came out years ago. The coating came off quickly. I contacted them about it, and was told "too bad". Never bought another product from them again.

I have a pair of Dewey coated going on about 20 years and the coating is fine. I like the ProShot stainless too.

Pro-Shot rods !! With the smaller diameter handle (I believe they're 5/8") clears stock without bowing rods. I have a 30" barrel with a Lucas guide ...rod is 42" with no issues. It wouldn't be an issue with the 32" barrels either. My Pro-Shot rods are coated and haven't peeled anywhere. Great rods !!

I use the pro shot SS rods. They are a little flexy but don't hold grit, and the bearings are good. I love the small handle for clearance as well.
