bore guide for rimfire
- Thread starter sigp226
- Start date
Not likely a bore guide will fit all of the models you have. The critical idea is to have the guide fit the receiver as snuggly as possible to limit play and the guide hole should be kept in line with the bore. Bolt thickness will stipulate guide diameter and not all bolts are the same. Custom made guides may be in order. You may want to contact Sinclair Int'l or Russ Haydon's Shooter's Supply if they can help. Both are south of the 49th.
I just got a guide from Mike Lucas in South Carolina. I looked into it and I think this is the best bore guide out there. He makes them to order, and the fit is perfect. A little pricey (US$46 shipped to Canada) but worth it I think.

Mine was for a Sako 85, but when I spoke with him I got the impression that he can make them for almost any action/cartridge - not sure about obscure actions. The guide includes a 2nd piece that fits over the cleaning rod and mates with the bore guide itself so the rod is held centered. He actually drills that piece specific to the rod you'll be using, which I thought was pretty impressive. Here is a link to the description of the guide that convinced me to order one:
