Rothhammer, Nitrox and 9,3x64 , thank you.

Rothhammer, the four segments of the cleaning rod put together are 66 cm / 26 inches long, which looks good for cleaning a 57 cm / 22,5 cm long barrel; anyway, there won't be any room left in the dedicated compartment for storing a fifth segment so I assume that this cleaning rod was four-segment only. Did you still get your grand dad's "new hat rack" and leopard skull? With regards to "presentable posts" I have learnt by experience - as most of us if not all of us did, that it took almost the same amount of energy to do something well than to screw it, but when you screw something you'll have to do it again, so better doing things properly in the first instance as this will save time and energy!
