Bore scope

That looks very good maybe I need to start looking on Amazon. I have a Kimber Government model that I've shot for years that I probably should get a good look at the bore. My latest add a CZ 457 MTR shouldn't need it (brand new).

The two barrel pictures are of each end of the rifling in the barrel that came on my MTR. You never know what you have until you look.

I was looking for something else on Amazon and saw the Anykit bore scope. For $50 I figured I would give it a try.

The neat part to me is the mirror

I tried a cheap 5mm USB endoscope camera years ago and couldn't get the results I wanted. I made my own 90 degree mirror but didn't have enough barrel diameter in a .22 rifle to attach the mirror sufficiently. It worked poorly for larger barrels but I really wanted it for .22 so I gave up on it. Here is a 3 year old video I made:


This looks good, especially the 90 degree mirror which is crucial to check rifling condition, I may give a try. Is this the model you bought? Have you fully inserted it into a .22 rimfire barrel with the mirror attached?

Bigbore I did run it all the way through the barrel in the pictures. You focus it by screwing the mirror in or out and took a little back and forth to get the best picture. I'm happy with it for now. Only time will tell how well it holds up.

Bigbore the one that you posted the link to is the one I got. I'm not smart enough to post a link.

Thanks for the info.

One of the worst (and best) things I ever bought was a bore scope. Once you look at the inside, there is no turning back.

Nice to see QC has improved on the 457

I have a lot of work to do on mine, none of which I got new. Maybe, if I can get my barrel looking that good I can shoot a 250.

Nice pix of a very good, and clean, bore 1522. $50 well spent.

Had time this morning to work with the scope. Thought I would post more pics for anyone that's interested. These were all taken from the breach end of my 455 Ultra Lux with 28in barrel.

I have been wanting a bore scope foe quite a while but just couldn't justify the cost, this looks like a great find. It looks like they get the light right which is critical for this kind of photography, lighting is 75% of the shot IMO.

I'll probably pull the trigger on one of these.

The brightness is adjustable I'm using the min. setting.

Thanks Al it looks cleaner than I expected it's got more than 200 rounds since I've done anything more than pull a patch through it . I try to work on the carbon ring about every 500.

Wow that’s really neat, keep the pictures coming!

The AnyKit was gone so I have one of these on the way. Looks identical although I think the label looks better.

I bought that one last weekend. Works great for $50. I can connect it to my phone, tablet, or PC.

I think its the same scope sold under two different names.
