Bore Guides

[RedSkyFarm]

I'm looking for a bore guide for my Weatherby vanguard S2 chambered in .308? I see them listed as "universal" and "short action or long action". Haven't found any that specifically says, Weatherby vanguard short action. Anyone know what would fit my rifle?

Look at Possum Hollow if you want a bore guide specific to your rifle. I just use a universal one, and it works just fine.

You can call Sinclair and they have one that fit action/cal

These are little step up on bore guides

I tried one for a while. Universal one, more of a pain than anything.

I just clean it and don't worry about it. A slow rod is not going to wear it like a bullet going 2800 fps. Or even given it could, how many rod runs at under 1 fps does it equal a bullet at 2800 fps?

My take continues to be that while someone can wreck a bore with a steel rod from the front with endless cleaning, its an urban legend.

You look at a barrel with a bore scopes and a rough one shoots well and a clean one shoots poorly.

How can you tell if you are not shooting that barrel?


Ie. how does a gunsmith come to the conclusion its does not shoot well?

Owner can't shoot? Bore is shot out and nothing to do with cleaning?

Clean from the breach, none needed.

I use a Dewey chamber guide in all my rifles.
I dont like solvents and oils dripping down into the heart of my rifle.....

I would assume guides are labeled whom patented the cartridge. Keeps things simple that way.
