J. Dewey ABS-2S .24-7mm Caliber Adjustable Bore Saver Rod Guide for Scoped Rifles - 13"

Cleaning your scoped rifle safely means protecting the bore, chamber, and action from solvent contamination and rod wear. The J. Dewey ABS-2S .24-7mm Caliber Adjustable Bore Saver Rod Guide for Scoped Rifles is a 13-inch rod guide engineered to replace your bolt during the cleaning process, keeping your action, trigger, and magazine safe from harmful solvents and debris. The extended 13-inch length is purpose-built for shooters running long-range optics—varmint and target scopes with longer eyepieces—where a shorter guide would interfere with your scope and rifle setup.

Rod guides are often overlooked, but they're a core part of firearms maintenance discipline. This model features a durable aluminum collar with a threaded brass adjustment pin, letting you dial in the fit quickly to match your action length without fumbling through tools or guessing. The rubber O-ring seal is the workhorse here—it blocks bore solvent from migrating into the action while you run your rod back and forth. That seal is what separates a rifle that stays corrosion-free from one where cleaning compounds find their way into places they shouldn't.

The 13-inch length is the right choice if you're running a long scope and need clearance for your hand and rod movement under the eyepiece. Just remember: you'll need a cleaning rod 13 inches longer than your barrel to use this guide properly. Pair it with the right rod length, and you've got a repeatable, safe cleaning routine that protects your investment and keeps your rifle running true.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rod guide work with my scoped rifle?

The ABS-2S is designed to fit .24–7mm caliber rifles with scopes. The 13-inch length is especially suited for long-varmint and target scopes where an eyepiece extends far back on the rifle. If your scope is shorter or mounted closer to the receiver, a 10-inch guide may offer better hand clearance, but this 13-inch model will work if you have the rod length to support it.

What cleaning rod length do I need?

You'll need a cleaning rod that is 13 inches longer than your barrel. For example, a rifle with a 24-inch barrel would require a 37-inch cleaning rod.

How does the O-ring seal protect my rifle?

The rubber O-ring creates a seal around the rod as it moves through the guide, blocking bore solvents and cleaning compounds from flowing into your action, trigger mechanism, and magazine. This prevents corrosion and contamination in critical areas during the cleaning process.

Can I adjust the guide to fit different actions?

Yes. The threaded brass adjustment pin lets you quickly adjust the guide collar to match your action length without tools, making it simple to dial in a snug fit specific to your rifle.
