I have an Omega and I'm looking for a new rod for the range and cleaning. What is the best?

My suggestion for the range would be to measure the present Omerga ramrod with the T/C-provided extention jag attached. This site sells all different sizes. A real nice 2nd option are the brass ramrods there. They areheavy & bite right thru any crud rings.I purchased the longer one for my Omega -- I think it fits the Traditions Kentucky & Shenandoah rifle.
Both ramrods have double-end fittings for attachments. The black anodized one is the same one T/C uses.... so it's strong & forever. Get a couple of nice T-handles or palm saver ends for your ramrods somewhere. I think the ones I have are orange & roundrubber -- shaped like they fit over slim round stool legs - with a flare on the end for outstanding gripping.

There are a lot off range rods available depends on what you like. I like to take a 3/8 alunminium doll from the hardware store drill and tap the ends for #10with 32 thread per inch after I cut it one inch longer than level with the barrel. This makes a stong economical range rod and in a pinch you can substitute for your regular ramrod,it will stick out a bit but that won't bother anything. Lee
