Bore Guides
I have always shot my rifles to make sure they were accurate enough to reliably take deer. Lately, I have found myself going to the range more often, reading any and all info I can find on shooting, and spending more time in general cleaning, tuning etc. I have read on several sites and in many articles where people recommend using a bore guide when cleaning to prevent solvents from dripping into the action and to prevent wear and scratches of the throat.
How many people use a bore guide when cleaning rifles? If you do, why? What are the benefits? What kind do you use? Do you like it? Thanks for the info.

Iuse bore/muzzle guides and coated cleaning rods on all of my rifles. Getting crap and tool marks in the chamber is not a good thing.That areacan be damaged just as much as the bore. And solvent needs to stay where it belongs.

RE: Bore Guides
I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I use one any time I clean my bolt action rifles.They make the jobless messyand that's not a bad thing either. I prefer the ones made by Sinclair Int'l. They're individually sized to fit specific rifle actionsrather than being a "one size fits all" product.
