Tipton Carbon fibler rifle cleaning rods length

[graycrait]

I want to get a Tipton Carbon fiber rod and can't figure out if the length that Tipton quotes is overall length including the handle, or is it just the "working part of the rod". I don't want to buy one that is so much longer I can't easily work with it but I do have one .22 that has a 29" barrel.

Thanks,

It should be the length of just the rod. I would go at least 36" as the Tiptons have a big handle and it hits the buttstock and for me it just kind of gets in the way. With that said, I would highly recommend a stainless steel ProShot rod. The Tiptons are ok, but for the same (or similar) money, I prefer the ProShot rods.
