RE: Need a range rod
I bought a T/C Rugged Rod when they first came out. It has worked perfect. It is very strong and with an additional T-handle you can really get some pressure for pulling out stubborn patches and brushes....
One of my rifles I replaced its broken ram rod with one of those flexable wonder rods. That also is a nice rod, but it is too flexable for my taste. That is why I got the other range rod. I know just what your talking about when you say you hate taking the one out of the rifle and changing all the tips etc.....
