2500X Bore Guide

Sorry, I just saw this and thought I should say something. I'm the "fella" in question. Thanks Gene.

In a way I agree with Tim, Stiller, and Dan. If you don't trust your bore guide, you definitely don't want it full length.

I won't disparage anyone else's product on a public forum, but if you'd like a side by side comparison with other guides, I'll do that in a direct message.

If I'm stepping out of line here, I apologize, and I'm sure that the moderator will delete this. No worries.

At the risk of droning on, this has zero to do with “trusting” bore guides, even those with tight inserts.
Bore guides are short, rods are long.
Take your rod with your guide. Clamp the guide in a vice, insert rod a few inches, now move rod a couple inches side to side. I guarantee you the section past the guide will move, ultimately against the side of your bore and you cannot see it.
Long before guys offered short guides the best smiths were cutting them down so you could “ steer “ the rod down the bore for less chance of damage because about zero shooters guide them through perfectly straight……not a tough concept.
When the best guys in the business all say the same thing…..they tend to be correct.
