Bore Guide Use Instructions For Centerfire, Bolt Action
Bore Guides:
Remove bolt as per manufacturer’s instructions.
Loosen the brass bolt collar handle and slide the rubber
nosecone (front end) of the Bore Guide through the receiver until seated in the
chamber.
*Lightly push on the Bore Guide to seat rubber nosecone in
chamber.
Slide the bolt collar forward until the brass handle is
aligned with the bolt handle recess. Rotate the brass handle downward into the
bolt handle recess and tighten against the Bore Guide tube. At this point, the
guide should not move forward or backwards.
NOTE: On rifles without a bolt handle recess, it may be
necessary to remove the brass locking handle and slide the bolt collar forward
until the threaded locking handle hole is visible in the ejection port.
Reinsert the brass locking handle and tighten against Bore Guide tube to
properly lock Bore Guide into action.
Position a dry patch of the proper size on a jag and insert
the rod/jag into the rear opening of the bore guide until visible in the
solvent port.
Apply cleaner or oil to the patch and push through the bore.
The solvent port may also be used to apply cleaner to
brushes.
To remove the Bore Guide from the action, loosen and rotate
brass handle up and out of the bolt handle recess. Then pull Bore Guide and
bolt collar back away from the chamber and out of the action.
NOTE: For Actions with exposed bolt releases (e.g.
Winchester Model 54) loosen the brass handle and leave the bolt collar in
position. (The bolt collar depresses the bolt release keeping it from catching
on the lip of the rubber nose cone.) While keeping the bolt collar stationary,
pull the Bore Guide backwards until rubber nosecone butts up against bolt
collar. Then pull both the bolt collar and Bore Guide out together as one
assembly.
FAQ

application.
Q: Why doesn’t the collar on my Bore Guide fit into my rifle
action?
A: Manufactures use many different bolt diameters. While
most manufactures use a 0.695” bolt diameter, some actions can have smaller or
larger bolt diameters. Please measure your bolt diameter to the nearest 0.001”
and contact Customer Service to order the correct diameter collar for your
application.

exposed bolt releases loosen the brass handle while leaving the bolt collar
stationary in action. (The bolt collar depresses the bolt release keeping it
from catching on the lip of the rubber nosecone.) Pull Bore Guide back away

Bore Tech Bolt Action Bore Guide .25–.308 Cal (Red)
Maintaining a centrefire rifle between .25 and .308 calibre
requires precise alignment and proper protection during cleaning. The Bore Tech
Bolt Action Bore Guide .25–.308 Cal (Red) is designed to keep your cleaning rod
perfectly centred, helping to reduce wear on both the barrel and cleaning
equipment.
By guiding the rod directly through the bore, this tool
minimises unnecessary contact with the chamber and rifling. This helps preserve
accuracy over time while ensuring a smoother and more controlled cleaning
process.
Enhanced Protection for Your Rifle
A key function of a bore guide is to protect the internal
components of your firearm. This model features a soft, solvent-resistant nose
section that forms a secure seal in the chamber, preventing cleaning fluids
from entering the action.
Keeping solvents contained within the bore helps avoid
contamination of sensitive parts such as the trigger mechanism and bolt
assembly, supporting long-term reliability.
Designed for Stability and Ease of Use
This bore guide includes an adjustable collar system that
locks it securely into position within the action. Once fitted, it remains
stable during use, allowing for consistent cleaning strokes and improved
control.
The integrated solvent port also allows for convenient
application of cleaning fluids directly onto patches or brushes, streamlining
your cleaning routine.
Precision Engineering for Long-Term Use
Manufactured using high-quality, precision-machined
components, this bore guide is built for durability and repeated use. Its
colour-coded design (Red for .25–.308 calibre range) makes identification quick
and easy when working with multiple rifles.
Compatible with many popular bolt-action platforms,
including Remington 700-style rifles, it offers a reliable fit for a wide range
of centrefire setups.
