Bore Guide For The 17hmr Rifle

When Hornady developed the 17HMR rimfire cartridge, they really hit a homerun! And the rifle manufacturers turned out a plethora of rifles to chamber it.

But unlike the 22RF cartridge, which many seasoned shooters will tell you, might never need to have the bore scrubbed, the 17HMR with its “real” copper jacketed bullet and its extreme velocity, needs bore cleaning often.

The problem is, no one makes a “proper” bore guide for this type of rifle. Most 17HMR rifles are nothing more than 22RFM rifles with a 17cal barrel. And many of these 22RF rifles have one issue when you try to use a standard bore guide that protects the delicate chamber edge and the bottle neck area of the chamber. A fixed ejector is in the way.

This little “shark fin” is right in line with the chamber and is fixed. It doesn’t move out of the way. Therefore the bore guide you might use for your centerfire rifles will not pass by and work in this rifle.

Bore guides exist for this type of action, but they are open bottom designs and do not enter the chamber and protect the delicate chamber edge or the bottleneck area of the chamber.

Enter the RVB Precision Bore Guide for the 17HMR rifle.

My bore guides is made of 7075 anodized aluminum tubing. Totally unaffected by any type of cleaning solution you might use.

One end is swagged down to fit completely into the chamber of a 17HMR rifle. There by guiding the cleaning rod perfectly to the throat area and the bore without touching the chamber walls or edge.

This aluminum tube is thin enough to pass by the ejector, yet it is extremely rigid being made of hard anodized 7075 tubing.

The tight fit of the bore guide in the chamber also stops cleaning solvents from getting into the actions trigger, magazine etc

Once the bore guide is in place, a supplied aluminum bushing is slid over the tube.

And into the action to keep the tube aligned. Perfect!

A cleaning patch and a 17 cal cleaning rod is inserted into the bore guide and you end up with a nice clean bore. The RVB Presicion 17HMR Bore Guide is available for  $19.95 plus $5 shipping to the lower 48. ($19.95 + $11 shipping to Canada)

Dear royb100, Hello RoyB:Your 17 HMR Bore Guide is awesome! I used it for a Winchester Low Wall, so I cut the length of the tube in half. The collar stopped right at the action and helped center/hold the guide.I will bet you can sell more of these!I will try to make a post on the 17HMR website I just joined, showing the gang there how well it works for my Low Wall.This is the BEST thing to come out of Mass in years!(I can say that… Was born down there…)Tight groups!Old No7 oldnoseven  Hey Roy, Great product. Thanks! HB, Montana   Roy, My carbine parts arrived today.  If you had a customer survey I’d rate your service very satisfying!  Fit, finish and function are all first rate and the rifle can now be carried in one hand at it’s natural balance point.  I never did understand CZ’s thinking on a mag that so completely ruined the gun’s ease of carry.  Who needs a 5 round mag for a purely sporting gun. Personally I’ve never had time to take more than 2 shots at anything. Anyway, a job well done and I will recommend your work to others at every opportunity! Mike
