Does what it's intended to do
I bought this bore guide to protect the throat and bore of my 7mm Rem Mag rifles. The bore guide comes with 3 different sized universal tips requiring you to find the one that fits your rifle the best. The brass handle is screwed into a plastic ring that can move forward and back when the brass handle is loosened up. Once you get the bore guide set in place just slide the handle forward, turn it down into the bolt lock, and tighten the brass handle (acts as a set screw). The rear opening of the bore guide allows you to start a brush or patch before applying solvent or oil through the open window on the end. This is a nice feature to keep you from making a mess moving from a solvent bottle to the bore guide and also keeps you from dripping all over the action when you're inserting a brush. So far so good on the quality of this product. I figure for the price if I only get 3-5 years worth of use out of it then it has more than paid for itself and I will definitely buy another. The fact that it will protect the throat and bore of my rifles adds that much more value to this product. Pros: ease of use, value, does what it's supposed to do, covers a wide range of bolt action rifles

Excellent tool - makes cleaning my rifle bores so much more effective.
I’ve used this dozens of times on 3 different rifles and it does the job well. So nice to have a proper setup for cleaning the bores on my guns.

Great
works great on AR platforms and bolt guns, simple to use and really helps protect your chamber and bore.

Does nott fit Howa receivers. Too large. I just take the piece off and guide the rid through
Doesn't fit well for Howas. But I'll make it work.

Clean your gun.
If you like cleaning your gun, this is a must have. You could start your swab and put the solvent cleaner on the swab so easy.

A Great Product, with Some Considerations
So, I have the Dewey, but decided to try this one. Observations so far: - Construction: Steel and plastic. We'll see how the plastic holds up over time. - Price: Very competitive, but it's cheaper for a reason. Some parts are plastic. - Versatility: Universal, which is VERY nice. One guide rules them all!😁 - Install/Use: This is where it gets a little tricky. They give you an alignment barrel for AR and bolt, but you might have to flip the bolt action barrel around to get it to work with your action's design. I had to flip it around to get the guide's stem to position correctly in the spot where my bolt handle goes. The opening for adding your bore cleaner is a nice size! Outside of the plastic parts, this is a great option. Still gets five stars from me and I would recommend it.

Great for the money
I have been using this guide since 2017. on multiple calibers. Works great without any issues. It locks in the action just fine and I have not noticed any plastic pieces and paint flakes as others have so described. Other than more rigidity and caliber and action size specific, I don't know what a higher dollar value bore guide brings to the table. Buy with confidence and put it to use. Depending on use and how how much it is used, I can see the need for replacing the chamber fitting plastic piece to be replaced as it may wear out. Be good and shoot straight.

doesn't fit all rifles
Doesn't fit the CZ 457 American bolt action rifle in 22 long rifle. The smallest bore guide tip is too large of a diameter to go into the receiver. Update: I removed the bolt & magazine from my CZ 457. I shined a bright, 2,000 lumen focusable white LED flashlight in the opening where the bolt inserts. It's not the size of the guide rod tip that's the problem as I stated before. On the 457 there's parts in the way. Maybe the electors. I removed the guide rod tip, and tried inserting only the guide rod. It won't go. It hits the parts in the way. So just as it says in the description. It fits most rifles, but not all. The CZ 457 is one of those guns it doesn't fit.

Usato spesso e con prodotti molto forti e non ho avuto mai problemi. Le plastiche e la vernice reggono bene.

Having been a shooter most of my life I must have spent hundreds of hours ramming a cleaning rod into the barrel of my latest rifle, hoping I wasn’t causing too much damage to the chamber in the process. I liked to think I was quite good at it. My latest purchase however, was an expensive precision rifle and I thought I would try a bore guide, hence I ordered the Tipton universal. What a difference! It fitted perfectly into the Tikka T3x and cut the cleaning time in half. I always put at least 20 patches through, more if I am using copper solvent. This keeps all the mess out of the chamber and receiver and stops you having to bounce the jag around the chamber before it feeds into the barrel. A couple of things to bear in mind: This bore guide fitted perfectly into the receiver of the Tikka which in 6.5 Creedmoor. I thought it would also fit my Sako 85 which is .223 but the adjustable collar will not fit into the receiver, just too big. I thought OK I’ll just hold it in place, however I then found the cleaning rod was not long enough to push the jag out of the barrel. Not the end of the world, just a little annoying for a ‘universal’ guide. If you don’t use a bore guide, start using one now, right now! Just make sure it fits.
