Bore guides?

[bodhisafa]

I have an Lucas bore guide that was made for a defiance deviant (6.5saum) and was wondering if I could use it on a different custom rig (different action and caliber) ? If not any recommendations ?

As long as it keeps your patch and jag from scratching the throat and chamber you should be fine.

Without the actual specs I am not going to speculate on what it will or won't fit, but I believe the bolt on the 6.5 SAUM is the same as the WSMs. Likely too fat to fit in mainstream SA's.

If you go looking for a new guide, PMA Tool has a really nice setup. You may need to dig around on their site (or send an email) to make sure you get the correct rod insert for your particular cleaning rod.

Another good option is Boretech. I have a few of their bore guides and they work well. I had one rifle for which they did not have an off the shelf guide that would fit, I sent them some measurements and they modified one to fit.
