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.

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

Bore Tech Bolt Action Bore Guide .416 Cal (Green)
Cleaning larger calibre rifles requires tools that offer
both precision and protection. The Bore Tech Bolt Action Bore Guide .416 Cal
(Green) is designed to keep your cleaning rod perfectly aligned with the bore,
helping to reduce wear and maintain the integrity of your rifle during
maintenance.
By guiding the rod directly through the centre of the
barrel, this bore guide helps prevent unnecessary contact with the chamber and
rifling. This not only improves cleaning consistency but also helps preserve
long-term accuracy.
Designed for Larger Calibre Rifles
This bore guide is colour-coded green and built specifically
for rifles in the 8mm to .416 calibre range, making it easy to identify and
select the correct tool for your setup . Its design ensures a secure fit in
most bolt-action centrefire rifles, supporting a stable and controlled cleaning
process.
Protects Your Rifle During Cleaning
A key advantage of using a bore guide is protection. The
soft, solvent-resistant nose section creates a tight seal within the chamber,
preventing cleaning fluids from leaking into the action . This helps safeguard
sensitive internal components such as the trigger and bolt assembly.
At the same time, the guide ensures that cleaning rods and
attachments enter the bore straight, reducing the risk of accidental damage to
both the firearm and cleaning equipment.
Built for Ease of Use and Durability
The bore guide features an adjustable collar system that
locks it securely into position during use, allowing for smooth and consistent
cleaning strokes. High-quality machined and moulded components provide
long-term durability, making it a reliable addition to any rifle maintenance
kit .
An integrated solvent port allows cleaning fluid to be
applied directly to patches or brushes without removing the rod, helping
streamline the cleaning process.
