Description
For rifles chambered in 338 Lapua
This Rod Guide is specially made for the Ruger Precision Rifle chambered in 338Lapua. In addition to being the proper diameter, this rod guide is also 15" in length to accommodate the extra long receiver length of the Ruger Precision Rifle. A 44" Dewey cleaning rod is recommended for use with this guide/rifle combination.
We've taken the best features of the rod guides we've been using for years and put them into one guide.
The PMA Rod Guide Features:
- 15" overall length (Ruger Precision Rifle only)
- CNC Lathe Turned Black Delrin
- Our guides are made from black delrin because it doesn't stain and discolor like white delrin.
- Integral Solvent Port
- The integral solvent port is machined and located properly, not too big, not too small, and not directly under the scope eye piece (at least for most rifles).
- Postitive Markings
- Our guides are laser marked and paint filled; the paint may eventually wear off, but unlike stickers or identifying marks made by a marker, the engraving is there to stay.
- Red Silicone O-Rings
- In our opinion, red silicone o-rings hold up better to solvents and because they are a contrasting color to the black delrin, any wear and tear on the o-ring is instantly recognizable.
- Aluminum Rod Guide Insert
- We use aluminum for our rod guide insert, this allows us to hold a tighter tolerance on the inside diameter ensuring support for the cleaning rod. Aluminum also lets us give the end of the insert a nice, sharp, clean knurl for pulling the insert out of the guide.
- Dual O-Ring Insert
- Our insert also has two o-rings instead of just one so it doesn't wobble inside of the guide. The less everything wobbles, the straighter the rod will be in the bore.
- Clear Reusable Packaging
- We use the same telescoping plastic tube used to transport and ship high dollar cutting tools. It easily holds a rod guide and insert and is clear so the markings on the rod guide can be seen.

PMA ROD GUIDE - RUGER PRECISION RIFLE - 338 LAPUA
Excellent quality, and a precision fit into the action and chamber. Did not have any cleaning solutions leak back into the chamber during rigorous cleaning. The cleaning rod insert is an excellent design, insuring that the cleaning rod remains centered through the action and bore during cleaning, and causing any interference or binding. Well worth the price, and vastly superior to "other" bore guides I've used.

Great
I had to wait for the .338 LM version to be in stock again, but it was well worth it. I own another rod guide from another company known for its rods, and the PMA guide is a better design.

Disappointing packaging
The rod guide itself would warrant 5 stars it is of quality. Reason for the 2 stars is packaging. Came in a priority mail box which wasn't a problem but the case that came with the product. Square tube that isn't long enough to lock that was dangling barely hanging by a thin strip of office tape. No further padding included. Lucky package wasn't damaged. Dewey rods does much better in their guide rod tubes. Disappointing for the money spent.
