Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire $50 dollar borescopes vs new barrels

Just thinking that now the Teslong bore scope is available to every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the shooting world at a negligible price. Comparing that to when chronographs broke the $200 price barrier and every serious reloader or shooter of factory ammo suddenly had access to accurate velocity information.

All of a sudden, the consumer could see exactly how accurate the velocity claimed on the end of the box was.

Does a cheap bore scope mean that the barrel makers are going to have step up their game. Or will the consumer recognize that group size matters more than pretty pics from inside the barrel.

Here are some samples:
$350 rifle from Walmart. Weatherby Vanguard CM in 243 with 20 rds.





$1000 rifle from Gunbroker. Remington 5R SS in 260 unfired




And for comparison, a custom Kreiger SS with 20 rds down the tube




I think the factory Howa is actually the prettiest of the bunch. But I do not know yet which will shoot the best. I am just playing with the camera
