I'm about to order some Dewey rods. I have no idea what length. Im also buying bore guides. Either Lucas....if he gets back to me or a sinclair guide.

What length do I need to accommodate a 26 inch barrel and bore guide.

16 inch barrel and bore guide?

Thanks.

Application is 20 inch 308, 16 inch 223, 26 inch 300 win mag. I have shorter barreled 223 and 308, nbut those will fall under those max lengths given

44" might be a bit longer than necessary but it depends on the length of the bore guide. You may also end up with longer barrels down the road.

Got a tape measure? Use it. Measure barrel, action and add 2-5 inches more for the bore guide.

I just received my bolt-action. 26" barrel + 1.5" brake + standard length of Rem SA type action + length of Mcmillan A5 stock behind action. Seems like I need a 44" rod. or else the handle will hit the cheek rest, preventing the jag from clearing the muzzle.
