ds1 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I’ve always thought of a bore scope as being a nice to have thing but not essential. I’m too tight to pay for a Hawk-eye so I took notice when the likes of Erik Cortina started using a Teslong borescope. It cost about £120 including postage - well worth it considering you get a 4.5” display that you can record photos ( SD card), also usb / mini usb cable connections for pc or mobile (so video possible) 3 lens sets that go up from 22 cal. Bottom line is it works and works very well. Model is ntg 450 with memory flex cable. The cost of the display is worth it to me ( I think this is about half the cost of the unit but available without it). The unit seems very well made but obviously a ‘best China’ product. Uses, obviously seeing barrel condition / throat wear but more important for me is seeing how effective my cleaning methods are. Of the barrels that I have looked through I am not surprised that my Krieger 338 is the best but the AI 308 border barrel is not far behind. The cz pistol barrels by comparison look like crap - showing much more copper build up and tooling marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Yeah, the Teslong is very good for the money. Ive found it really helpful for keep an eye on carbon rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I recently bought the 26 inch version with monitor. Great bit of kit. It has made me completely rethink my cleaning regime, paying much more attention to carbon now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 A borescope is a great piece of kit, but it can scare you daft if you don't know what you're looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
