Can someone recommend a bore guide that works well in the 93R17?
YES, I can recommend the Stoney Point RF-SAV1 RIMFIRE PART NO 043285
for the Savage 93 17 GV :t
BUT !! If you try to follow the instructions , it will end up in the trash as they are total gobblygooch. :1t
The way to go is this:-

best done with the gun in a gun vice
Remove the bolt.
1Take the bore guide in hand.
2 Pull off the black handle that has the solvent slot.
3 Slide off the large centre slide. ( note knurled end )
4 Ensure the rubber "o" ring is on the black inner to the gold shoulder.
5 Fit the inner into the breech and locate the cut out over the ejector lug.
6 Locate the large sleeve with the large cut out down, pull back the trigger and ease in as far as it will go with the knurled bit to the back.
7 Now replace the black handle with the slot up and clean the gun
When finished just follow the procedure backwards
NO FORCE IS REQUIRED AT ANY STAGE :1t
It works a treat :t :t
