Badger M2008 bore guide?

[brand692]

Looking for a Badger M2008 bore guide for 308. What is everyone using? Is it the same as the AI? Where do I get one? Badger?

Will a standard 700 308 BG work until I get the right one?

Lucas has one for the M2008, works great.

+1 for Mike Lucas bore guides. I do have one of his for my Badger action rifle. I don't think a guide for a 700 308 BG would work with Badger. The Badger bolt and action is sized like an AI.

Thanks for the input. Did you order yours directly from Lucas?

My first Badger, so I'm learning. Can I just order an AI BG then?

That's what I use and have 0 issues.

i just ordered a rem 700 guide form lucas also.

I just emailed him and told him what i wanted. I hear that he will also ask you about your cleaning rod (what type) to ensure the best fit .

Get one from Badger, they make one specifically for that receiver.

If I were you I would go with a Lucas bore guide. He makes a great product and is an all around good guy. Yes you order directly through Mike Lucas.

I've been using my regular ol Lucas .308 bore guide in mine. Seems to do fine.

Here is a link to an article about Lucas guide and contact info.
http://www.6mmbr.com/catalog/item/1433308/954882.htm When I ordered a Badger guide from him, it was when Badger had first come out. He had never heard of them and had me measure the bolt to build a guide. His guides fit very close and have some nice features. Personally I have 4 of his guides and am quite happy with them. If I misspoke on the Rem vs Badger guide fitting I apologize, just shows don't comment if you don't know for sure.
