Got a Ruger 77/44 on a Cabelas close out deal... need pointed in the right direction. I ve done tons of research looking for a bore guide to fit the action for cleaning and no luck. Nothing in Sinclair catalog, can't find my Brownells catalog and no luck with Midway, Natchezzs, etc. I have a 77/22 guide from Hollow Posseum but no go.

Can anyone help me out? I had a custom 77/17 Hornet guide made through Calhoun but obviously that wouldn't work either.Got to believe guys are cleaning these things through the chamber .... Help!
 
I bought my girl friend one and I just pull the bolt and run
AA cleaning rod through it.
BTW, this rifle shoots the Nosler 240 gt JHP quite well.

Loaded some 240 gr Hornady XTPs today with 23 grs W296. Hope it shoots it well. I also patched out the bore with a rod , jag and brush but was hoping to come up with a bore guide solution soon.

How's your trigger pull? Mines 5.5 lbs and hope to get it worked down to 3.5 lb range or so.
 
I'm guessing in that same area. Not terrible but not that bad.
For what she will use it for, which is a 50-75 yard deer rifle, it's fine.

Eric Sinclair at Possum Hollow got ahold of me and he s building a bore guide for me in case your interested. $20 shipped to my door.
