Anybody know where I could find a bore guide for this rifle?

You should contact Mike Lucas and tell him what you need. If he hasn't made one for a Tikka, he'll ask you for a measurement or two. What you get is a Delrin bore guide fitted for your chamber that will be a nice snug fit in your action. You'll also have to tell him which cleaning rod you're going to use as it'll have an insert that is fitted to the cleaning rod as well. I've got about a dozen of them now.

p.s. I sent his email address in a PM. Didn't want to post it for a spam bot to harvest.

I bought mine from Sinclair. After dealing with me they are very familiar with making guides for the small caliber M595s. Contact Geoff Esterline at Sinclair and he will set you up. He is their bore guide expert. I use mine for my three Tikka M595 based .20 caliber rifles. The .17 caliber guide is perfect for the 20s (just wrap a long philips screwdriver with emery cloth to open it up just a touch) and also works well, if a tad loose, for the .17s.

those are two good choices
