Vipa Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I'm getting really miffed with this... Can any of you guys tell me who makes a bore guide that will fit my Tikka T3 (6.5x55) and where to get one from. I have looked everywhere and in the end gave up and ordered a Hoppes No9 'Universal' guide only to find when it arrived that it is not suitable for Sako (therefore I presume Tikka) actions!!! Please help, this is really doing my nut!!! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisv Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I use a universal bore guide in my T3 6.5x55, it's the Stoney Point one, but looks identical to the Hoppe's one shown on Sportsman's site. Why don't you think it will fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says on the back of the box not suitable for Sako actions! and Tikka aren't listed in the actions for which it is suitable (very strange for a "universal" guide!)

seeker Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 They all seem to come with the 'sleeve' to fit Rems etc .. the bolts on some rifles are different diameter ...Tikka, Howa etc. Hornady/Stoney do other sizes, I got one from Sinclairs or Brownells. Have you tried Reloading Solutiobs or Norman Clarke? I think one of them also keeps the one piece white plastic guides?? Or if its just the black sleeve that's too big its Delrin and will polish down I'm told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
