I dropped/lost my Omega ram rod about 2 weeks ago and had no clue where I lost it.Went to repair a tree stand Wed (put new Stainless steel bolts in it replacing 5 year old rusted bolds) and found it about 20 yards away on the steps of another guys tree stand (he had one of those Big Dog Double stands in there)! Somebody had found it, and placed it there. Also lostmy XS Power Rodfor my Savage, but found it the same day by retracing my steps. So, I went out and boughta pack of 29 cloth elastic hair bands, what girls wear ("pony tail holders") and now all my MLers have those holding the ram rod tight. So get your girly hair bands to hold your ram rod tight >>or<< take your gun stock off and strech out your ram rod holder. I did NOT want to do that on my Savage, since that may change POI---I have all the screws marked with dark ink so I can line them up exactly--for accuracy. Savage manual says 25 inch pounds to tighten the action screw. Anyway, maybe this will help someone not loose their ram rod.
