.. I got one of these from one of our lgs. I think it will work out just fine. It came with a muzzle protector/guide, .50 cal brass brush, cleaning jag and bullet puller. Now I can save my hickory rod for hunting.   https://www.cabelas.com/product/CVA-reg-Lifetime-Range-Rod/1383656.uts
 
This was not long enough for one of my rifles, I ended up going with a surplus 50 cal machine gun cleaning rod. 5 sections, rotating T-handle, and max length is 48". I just use 4 sections for what I need. Threaded 10-32, cost about $12.
 
I've used this one for 20 plus years, cheap and has held up.  


Dewey 1-Piece Cleaning Rod 50 BMG 11/32" Diameter 17" Brass 5/16 x 27 Thread


Adapter for attachments are available at most supply places like Midway which also handle these rods for under $20 bucks.

A 17" rod wouldn't do me much good. I'd have to screw 2 of them together.
 
The cheapest range rods I have and probably the best are used military 30 caliber and 50 caliber machine gun rods purchased at a local gun show for peanuts.  Look at the guys pushing used military goods at the next gun show.

Not a bad rod.

I use this one when I sit down and get serious on the range.

Did you guys read or look at this website Jonathan suggested. 

Controlled Chaos is used on several of their products? 


The meaning of this term is "a situation that can be described as a riot or a complete cluster ****, but in reality, it is under the control, or at least started, by a group of insanely smart individuals (usually anarchists) in an effort to strike fear in a certain group of people (can be race, or people who live in a certain area), or for the sake of looting."
What a term ....... :lol!:
 
These rods are incredible & will last a life time. The brass are their best and most durable. The 3/8''rods are on one end tapped 5/16 x 27 female, the other end tapped 10/32 female. Each range rod comes with Handle, Guide and Jag. Have one for my 46'' Brown Bess & a shorter one to handle all my other rifles. You can not go wrong.
