Speaking of range rods, I wanted to share with you the Tipton Rod. I have two of these range rods - I have one in the the truck to use in the field and one in the house to use as a cleaning rod.... Do not know if they would work for you but, they are a really cool carbon fiber rod with a rotating handle....

Expensive but really strong....

Good luck
