Field Ram Rod

[tracker12]

I have a Knight UL and have found that my gun shoots better with the attached Ram rod is removed. So I am looking for a collapsible rod for hunting. Whats are some good options?

If you’re looking for a collapsible carbon rod, I’d consider Woodmans:

Carbon Fiber Collapsible Ramrod .45/.50 Caliber

Or Arrowhead’s:

3-piece Ramrod with Sheath & Bore Guide - Arrowhead Rifles

Video of ramrod in use: https://youtu.be/7zNwdWwbMk0 See below for sizing info Sold with or without Arrowhead Loading Jag. Arrowhead Loading Jag works with all commonly used 40* through 50cal bullets (including high BC bullets). CAN ONLY BE USED FOR LOADING. NOT FOR PATCHING. BUNGEE CORD WILL...

Be aware, though, that collapsible rods (unless you get one that screws together) are only good for loading - not swabbing/cleaning/bullet pulling. I carry a full length aluminum or carbon rod on all my hunting rifles for that reason.

I’ve got a SpinJag G3 that I have carried as a backup on occasion that I like as well

I guess my one concern is how a collapsible rod will handle Tripple 7 crud ring. I did notice Arrow specifically says it should mot be used for patching.

You’d have to have a screw-together rod like the G3 for swabbing.

At this point I thing I’ll just go with a collapsible rod but keeping a light weight 3 piece in my pack as a back up. I’ll be in UT this winter on a mule deer hunt and another rod in my EXO pack won’t be an issue.

This winter? How late is your hunt?!

Hankins makes nice collapsing ramrod.
