I bought one from Amazon, and it came with a monitor; It is an excellent piece of equipment to use to see how well one barrel cleaning goes.

Thanks for the detail use of the borescope. I just started using my borescope, and it’s great to see that I’m getting the same results. Your explanation of what’s being seen is very helpful.

[@Hazzbro1964]

Thanks. Appreciate your comments. It’s a tool I can’t see doing without now!

[@stevenberk5037]

Best ever borescope video EVER!!!

[@Hazzbro1964]

Not sure about that but thanks for the comment 😁

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Excellent! Good for inspecting the inside of cartridge cases....

[@Hazzbro1964]

Good idea!

[@gunsknives5395]

White Oak uses Shilen blanks. All Shilen barrels are button rifled that's why you don't see any chatter marks and they look very smooth.

[@Hazzbro1964]

Makes sense. Thanks for the info!

[@Eugene2ndW]

I have a button rifled factory bbl in 223 and it shows these same chatter marks. Factory support says that chatter is normal for a button rifling. My guess is that that tool shaft stretches as the button is loaded as it over comes static coefficient of friction. Once the button moves, friction goes down and strain in the tool goes down and the button stops as strain is reduced and this action is repeated on a regular frequency.

[@garrytalley8009]

@@Eugene2ndW Those chatter marks could have been made by drilling the bore and were just there before buttoning.

[@Eugene2ndW]

@@garrytalley8009 Garry, thanks, but there are chatter marks in grooves too and have the same pattern as on the lands.

Good review. They are excellent, the clarity is outstanding. You can take a video or snapshots and keep an accurate log of your barrels as they wear. You will soon see how good your cleaning regime is and which products really work! Great bit of kit and a must have for the price. Take it and your laptop with you when you are buying second hand rigs - You'll see who's telling the truth.

Some models work on android also and their coming out with one for I-phone.

[@Hexagenium]

@@gunfisher4661 That will be excellent 👍

[@gunfisher4661]

I bought a portable one that hooks to PC or Android, most excellent tool for the money and teslong warranty is very good.

[@Hazzbro1964]

Great tools and great value! Tks for the comment

[@bfdadventure]

I just got one. Took a peak at all my rifles. Like you mentioned, they are an excellent diagnostic tool for seeing and measuring cleaning results. You will have a heart attack looking at the chatter marks in Savage barrels. I looked at 3 Savage barrels and all have concentric marks throughout the bore. Bleed blue with copper solvents pretty heavily. They shoot 1/4-1/2 MOA though! LOL My Kimber 84 hunter barrel looks like a custom, hand lapped barrel! No chatter marks and rifling is cut clean and consistent. New Ballistic Advantage premium barrel for a 308 AR looks hideous! The lands are littered with "potholes" I hope it isn't going to be a headache for me. I am looking forward to seeing how that one look after some rounds. I was also in the camp of "don't clean the barrels till the accuracy drops off" but some of my bores looked like sewer pipes! I think I'll just maintain the bores now that I can see them!

[@garrytalley8009]

I think it's a great tool and want one myself. But honestly clean barrels don't always shoot that good. Most need to be fouled to shoot their very best. Even a very smooth bore needs to be fouled. There is a reason competition bench-shooters don't clean until there barrel starts to shoot wider groups. I think it would be a great tool when that group gets bigger you can check and see where the fouling is screwing you up, usually the last 6 inches of the barrel. But you would be able to see it before and after you clean. I wouldn't be too quick to second guess that cleaning only when the accuracy drops off. I never clean a rifle until deer season is over, but I do clean usually after it is done, and my barrel gets fouled when I shoot the gun and confirm my zero before the next season starts. I sometimes don't and it hasn't made a difference.

[@Hazzbro1964]

Agreed, clean barrels do not shoot the best groups…except in black power rifles where extreme fouling builds rapidly. Great points and thanks for the comments!

[@garyjohns4711]

Bore-Tech carbon remover and you will throw your hopes in the garbage can...

[@xenomorph1317]

Could it be that the first barrel is conical?

[@Hazzbro1964]

Have no way to check it now but something was clearly off! Tks for the comments

[@Strutingeagle]

What is shoot lights out?

[@Hazzbro1964]

Old time phrase...per Urban Dictionary "This used surely to be the sign of a marksman. He would shoot out the lights by shooting the wicks of the candles in a chandelier - and the trick was to do it without touching the wax. Hence it has come to mean extreme accuracy" lol Thanks for the comment! Had fun looking it up.
