bore guide?

[s002wjh]

just curious anyone use bore guide or is it really necessary to have it.

Yes, you should use one. They are a cheap investment, and will last forever.
Possum hollow, or Sinclair make good ones.

I do but I think thier importance is overstated. They help keep the cleaning tod from getting all scratched up, which is a plus. If you do use one, make sure you also clean out the chamber without it. Some models will impeed a thorough cleaning of the throat area.

Good point!, I use a bore mop after.

FWIW, if the function is to guide the cleaning rod into the bore; shouldn't it be called a "rod-guide"?

I just picked up a possum hollow, cheap investment to protect your rifle

Guys you are missing the point of a bore guide.
Not only does it keep the rod straight into the bore, it prevents all the solvents from loading up the action rails and most importantly the trigger (which seems to be a sore point here) with crud and when it drys or gets gummy fouls the trigger.

They really help keeping those little solvent soaked pieces of cloth ON the jag too.

How's the Dewey bore guide?

How's the Dewey bore guide?

I have one, works great. It came with my rifle along with a Dewey rod.
All my other rods are Tipton, and all my other guides for bolt guns are possum hollows. All work great.
I also have a shit ton of Otis gear I use in the field or on the range. Takes longer, but works well.
