That makes more sense and is why I use a bore guide...with the R8 I do not have the worry of action or trigger mechanism solvent contamination because I clean the barrel when it is removed from the stock.

I clean my Blaser barrels with them in situ using my left hand on the front point of the comb as a guide and keeping it straight. I usually fail miserably to prevent the rod snatching sideways when I try and clean the barrel’s out of the action
