Im looking for a decent bore guide for my new tikka 6.5 Creedmoor. I currently have a Dewey rod for my 17hmr that I would clean without a guide. Would the 17 rod work on the 6.5 without issues or should I get a dedicated 6.5 rod as well?

bore tech everything for cleaning. awesome product
I use Boretech for literally all my cleaning supplies. Rods, jags, patches, brushes, solvent, and boreguides. Makes resupply easy. Order from one website.
I just use the white Sinclair guides, everything else is Bore Tech I love their stuff.
Second on the Sinclair bore guide. Great product. I also use BoreTech solutions.
Mike Lucas bore guides are exceptional. Never had an issue contacting him. I have not called him, just through email.
I thought mike.lucas stopped making boreguides last year or something? Thought there was multiple threads about it?
I ended up going with boretech for mine and its been working great
Pretty sure of that as well.
Have Boretech for everything. It's a one stop shop.

I read the same threads and found one that gave updated contact info with the required information. I contacted him and sent the money and had a Mike Lucas boreguide for my RPR .243 in two weeks. Best boreguide I've owned. This was about two years ago. I think someone started these rumors about him going out of business to cause trouble.
I have some Lucas bore guides, but have moved on to the bore tech ones. Got tired of buying specific bore guides for each specific rifle and chambering I have, the bore tech ones are pretty versatile.
Functionally, they are both going to protect your chamber while cleaning, but the bore tech will save you money in the long run.
For rods, I've moved away from coated rods (the coating can easily peel off) and on to proshot polished stainless steel rods. They are awesome.

FYI, Mike Lucas still sells guide rods. I placed an order with him today.
Strange, but he might be busy. Purchased one from him last month. Responded fairly quick. Best bore guide I've purchased.
I was going to suggest that you don't need a bore guide, you just need to stick it straight in. But forum decorum prevented me from posting such a ridiculous opinion.
for those who are still confused about Mike L.... I purchased two guides: 6.5 cm and .308 for my new AI AT, In January of this year... he is definitely still in business and responds within at least two days to every one of my emails... he delivered the guides within two weeks of order and payment...
Mike Lucas [email protected] just e-mail Lucas, the best made. I would go with the proper rod for that caliber, Mike will cut the guide to fit the rod and it will work great.
Not too long ago I ordered two Guides from Mike Lucas. Emailed him and he answered a couple questions for me and got me exactly what I needed
Is there somewhere online to look at the rods? I'm curious as to what they look like. Thanks.
I have used the Lucas guide rods for some time now and they are great. I just ordered another one today so I know he is still in business. The only place I saw a picture of the guide rods was on the 6mmbr web site. Just google Lucas guide rods and it should come up.
