Rancho Roy 266 Posted March 28, 2015 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Chili Ron 938 Posted March 28, 2015 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Lunger 9 Posted March 28, 2015 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Rancho Roy 266 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share 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.
