Inexpensive Bore Scope Review......Article - Rbertalotto - 03-28-2015
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!

Lyman is coming out with a bores cope that is interesting. A bore scope needs a 45 degree mirror so you can look straight down in the grooves.

Initially that new lyman out fit looks nice. Will be nice to see/hear what folks have to say about it once it hits the streets. I wouldn't mind having one my self but damn thats a lot of scope caps to cover that cost.

Ya Sam they are high cost, but a lot cheaper then a Hawkey.

And if they work as advertised they will be considerable easier to use as well.

Gents I have one of these digital camera scopes. Included here are 2 images as samples of what one can do. My scope has 7mm camera end and can view inside 223 chamber or of course 45-70s. This one is from Amazon ($35) and they can be reviewed at www.supereyes.com The unit is available with 30, 45, 60, degree optic tips at extra cost. I installed it on old PC in shop. This unit's software, included, operates on Windows XP2, Vista or Win7. The software allows setting scales and measurements too. It is handy to view inside actions and could save disassembly. The unit covered in thread above with it's own LED display might be hard to see in sun light or field. I like viewing images on big screen monitor i.e. larger image without expanding electronically is clearer. One hint is both camera and object (rifle) need to be fixed down to get clearest images. Hand holding this camera except for viewing wiring behind a wall really shows your heart beat
This camera is in color so bore crud might be identified. Best feature is ability to record images for files and later comparisons, or forwarding to someone for info. Having such a tool is handy as two front shirt pockets. [attachment=537][attachment=538]

for reference the web site posted with my previous reply may not lead to Amazon.com at Amazon.com a search for usb inspection digital camera + surpereyes should put you on correct track. RB

I just got a call from Optics Planet about the Lyman bore scope I ordered. Will be 8-10 weeks before I see it. They are putting me on a Pre-Order list. The fellow told me the demand was outrageous.....I hope it works well or the returns will be outrageous.....

Anyone used one of the Lyman bore scopes yet?

Still waiting for the Lyman scope. Couple weeks ago I was told they weren't shipping yet.
