Sinclair. Call them and they'll set you up correctly.

Lucas, expensive but worth every penny.
Enough already, just shoot it!

Sinclair. Call them and they'll set you up correctly. Yep, I too like the Sinclair. They are caliber specific and in some cases are action specific. Rugers, Remington, and probably a few others are caliber specific only since the bolt sleeves are the same or close enough to work; Kimbers, with such a small bolt, are action specific as well. But for I think $18.00, you get a well designed bore guide that will absolutely protect your rifle while cleaning and has replaceable o-rings that seal the chamber from leaking solvent back into the action. I am not familiar with Lucas so I can't compare the two. I just know that I am totally satisfied with the Sinclair models.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I've owned both and for the money I'd buy a Sinclair; have 6-8 and love them. Possum Hollow is supposed to make a nice bore as too. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Possum Hollow make bore guides for Sinclair?

I put in an order with Mike Lucas today, so I'll get to see what all the fuss is about with a Lucas guide.

Like my Possum Hollow guides. VEry simple. The only maintenance item is the O-ring. Kind of like the old blue Midway guides, but tougher.

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

So, are Possum Hollow's and the Sinclair models one and the same?
