Thin handle cleaning rod

Long Dewey coated rods and proper fitting bore guides. I pull an old, thick gym sock over the stock. Minimum stretch cause I wear size 14. Cheap to replace cause I have an old rag bag full of them.

This is what I bought myself for BF. It is very nice with the sand sewed in the ends for weight. Don’t scoff at a few dollars that supports a business that supports shooters.
 
I can think of a few venues in SR BR where cleaning with long rods created a cluster by blocking traffic through the aisles between cleaning stations.

Ha, blocking traffic....like when 2 or 3 guys stop in the middle of the aisle to BS at a match.... :p

What is really irking is when someone blocks travel on one side of the grocery store aisle (you have to, that is how it works), THEN shops the product on the other side of the aisle, effectively blocking the whole aisle to those that are "considerate" and don't go where these people are looking. I don't entertain any ideas of allowing that. If I need something where they are looking from their side of the aisle, I just go there, too bad for them. Their problem, not mine.

They are a senseless PIA and not needed for me. I put the leather on my stock and then put that into my cradle. The leather protects the stock from the cradle. Where exactly would the worthless weights fit?
The weights would fit over the cradle just like the leather does in the image posted. You are using the protector wrong.

I don't care how anyone uses it. I want my stock protected so it doesn't look like a POS. Evidently their pic is for folks that use crappy stocks and follow the herd. Any cowboy can follow directions.... o_O I have a range here at home, shoot out of a heated/cooled building. Shooting most all year except for a couple of months. Testing bullets, new barrels, and going to matches all year. When someone starts shooting and cleaning as much as I do, then I might listen to them about using some product wrong. Also, most folks that actually compete and load at the match realize useless weight is heavy to carry around.

Pad the stock cradle, put the rifle in the cradle, then put the cover over the stock like it is intended to be used. It is still protected. Life gets rough when you fight the design of products, and I'm NOT "just saying'.

Cradle is padded. Don't GAF what you say.

Weights are not necessary. When the wind blows hard enough to lift the leather up, I'm in trouble.

I'll take the new and improved path. The way they used to sell them without the weights, before the price went up 50% to value add said weights, and increase profits from the suckers that fall for it.

Seems like you blindly follow directions, so I'd bet you do everything your wife says too.....

A man that wants to start an argument with DCoots, hasn’t been paying much attention to how things go down. lol!
 
I don’t care for overly long cleaning rods, as posted they just add flex, nor do I care for coated rods that the coating flakes off and stays in the barrel. Polished stainless Proshot seems to cure both issues.
