Bore Guide recommendations

What bore guides does everyone recommend? I have bore guides that were made by Mike Lucas but I cannot get ahold of him. I’m not sure he makes them anymore. I need one for a Tikka .243 Thanks

PMA makes Lucas type guides

Great time to see this, weird thing just happened, went to remove mine today and the dang part that holds the o ring snapped off inside the chamber(.223), few twist with a 6.5 bore brush got it out. I've had that forever.

I like the Sinclair bore guides, simple and effective machined from Delrin with o-ring to seal solvents from running back out of chamber.
Nothing fancy but effective.

I have a bunch of MIke Lucus' ones and a bunch of Sinclair/Possum Hollow ones. Lucus stopped making his, I believe.

I admit that I like the latter much more as they are way less fiddly. They don't have that additional sleeve that the Lucus ones have.

I do get them made with an integrated solvent port vs. the add-on. I always call.

Some might say the sleeve-type are better as they are slightly better sized for your cleaning rod. In practical terms, I think it doesn't matter.
