I'm looking for advice on a good bore guide for my LA Rem 700. Nothing that will break the bank but nothing poor quality. Also a good place to purchase one?

Possum Hollow or Sinclair.
Also for a cleaning rod, I purchase a Tipton carbon fiber rod. I have a 7mm(.284) bore and the rod is the 27 to 45 caliber rod. Is this rod too big for my bore? Should I send it back for the 22 to 26 caliber rod or will this one work fine? I'm just worried about the tolerances being too tight.

Not that the others won't work but the Lucas is the way to go. Spend the extra $$$, you will be happy you did.
There is really no bad bore guides.
J Dewey Rods.
What I got.
That's my thought
I bought a cheap one. Probably should invest in a little nicer one.

+1!!!! Awesome guys over there. Responded to my questions in a flash.
The cheap stoney point all in one's are plenty good. It's just a tube.
I am very satisfied with the Lucas Bore Guides. Easy to deal with and delivered sooner than promised.
Just use one.
I have a few lucas bore guides. Very nice. I also have some of the Sinclair bore guides. If Lucas guides were still available for $40, I'd still be buying them. But now I just go with the $20 Sinclairs. Maybe not as nice as the Lucas guides, but plenty good for my needs.
Never tried a Lucas guide but they look nice. I have a Pro Shot bore guide that seems to work fine, though I have nothing to compare it to. J Dewey rods as mentioned above, I love mine and will buy them in other calibers as needed.
Not sure if anyone answered your question about rod size, but the rod you have is correct.

I second Lucas bore guides and Benchrite. Steve at Benchrite is great shipping fast, just outstanding. Also got Dewey rods from them and couldn't be happier, he also can get you anything you might need even if you don't see the caliber.

Possum Hollow make a very good bore guide. I use them on my TRG 22 and AIAW and Dewey coated rods.

Anyone able to contact Possum Hollow, between my buddy and I several emails and two phone calls not answered/returned over the last month or so. Thought I remembered they were moving? Are they still in business? Thanks
