I own multiple models of Teslong, and for home/shop use I prefer the rigid model. The flexible model has its advantages, though, like being more portable and difficult to damage. But I find the rigid model to be more easily manipulated in the bore. That’s the one thing I like about my rigid Teslong compared to my buddy’s flexible one.

I got the Teslong shortly after getting the Lyman bore scope. I was greatly underwhelmed with the Lyman. Mine is the flexible with the viewer. I like it a lot. And as was noted, prepare to have your heart broken. Bores don’t look near as good with a bore scope as they do with the naked eye.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

You'll have fun, they are real eye openers, pun intended.

Just note.....Don't have a heart attack the first time you look down the bore of your favorite rifle. All the bumps and scratches look huge on those things!

Well I got my Teslong 3 days ago and let’s just say my barrels weren’t as clean as I thought they were.
reivertom you were correct, looking at some of the rifling was a little scary.
In 3 days I managed to get 4 rifle bores down to bare metal. And a Ruger short barreled 44mag that I hadn’t cleaned in awhile that had some lead in it.
Three of the rifles were pretty easy but the Win pre64 70 308 was a mfer. I think there was [bleep] in there from 1952 still.
All of the rifles I used Wipeout accelerator and cleaner with jag and bronze brush. Plus Kroil and JB paste. Then used 100% acetone. Now I’m waiting on my Bore coat to arrive.
I will say that without out some kind of a bore scope there is no way you can get your barrel down to bare metal. Definitely an eye opener for me.

You got me thinking I need one of those.
Always wanted a bore-scope. The price of these seems very reasonable.
How is the rigid for handguns? Maybe rotate gun rather than scope?

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
