Just a thought here. If you're saying that the ramrod in the rifle is too short, and you want to use it for hunting, you should think about fixing that situation. Being from Idaho, you're probably not going to be using a tree stand or blind for hunting, so you're going to be sneaking around in the mountains. You don't want to carry an extra ramrod hunting that way, a real pain in the you-know-what. With that kind of hunting, you want to use only the ramrod in the gun, and if it's too short, it won't do you any good.
I suggest you look into what it would take to drill the ramrod hole longer and add a longer rod. You can use a range rod when practicing, but in the field it's much more convenient and efficient to use the rod in the gun.
Even with the ramrod issue, for $200 you certainly did well. :thumbsup: Bill
