Rancho Roy Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Lots of discussion on n the various forums about all the under $50 Bore Scopes available on Ebay and Amazon. I decided to buy a few and test them out to see if they were viable for gunsmithing and general firearm inspection. I wrote an article with loads of actual videos and posted it on my web site. I hope you enjoy it! www.rvbprecision.com
Chili Ron Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Howdy, I once had a bore checked at a Varmint Hunters Convention. The company that brought the scope was selling cleaning stuff. My rifle was like new inside. The bore scope can show if a rifle is worth having. After the convention I begged my club to buy a scope. Nothing doing. I figured if we charged $2 a barrel we would break even in a year. I could have been talking to a wall. $50 is sure a great idea. Thanks. Best CR
Rancho Roy Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 You're more than welcome! A labor of love!!!
Lunger Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Will these cheaper borescopes look at the wall or face of the rifling? Do they only look straight through the bore? Dad has a Hawkeye, and you can rotate a knob and see the wall in 360 degrees. Nice to see if there's any fire cracking, pits, or carbon and copper fowling.
Rancho Roy Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Yes, only straight ahead. The first one I reviewed came with a 45 degree mirror adapter, but it was useless in the small bores we are looking it. You need a $700 Hawkeye to look at the walls of a bore.
Litl Red Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Really looking forward to your review of the Lyman borescope ! You will post it or a link here, right.
Rancho Roy Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Yes, Lyman bore scope review as soon as it arrives
