Bore scopes

I use a Teslong, it works. Just remember because it looks like crap doesn't mean it won't shoot. I have a Rem 788 the looks like it had a colony of steel eating worms in it and it still puts one bullet on top of another..

Nature Boy's thread was a very good one. I archived it as a reference.
I have other bore scopes, but the Teslong is my 1st choice.
The base with its solid connector serves as a solid handle.
The short Teslong is great for pistols, reloading dies, cartridge cases and any other space you would like to examine.
The long one for rifles of course.
Another brand allows focusing, but I seldom see a need with the Teslong.
As many have mentioned, scary looking bores can still shoot well.
I see the value of knowing how far along the barrel life looks like & how clean it is.
A bit like likening shiny brass.

Rigid or flexible the better way to go?
The 26in version?
Model preferences? Seems like they make a lot of models.

Does one need anything else aside from what it comes with?

Thanks in advance!

One is on my short list for next year.
 
Some say the flex version doesn't traverse the barrel as easy as a rigid.
The rigid version is rotated in the barrel easily when needed.

The USB models plug into your pc, or android cell phone.
You need nothing else cept your phone, PC, tablet or laptop.
Using your phone, you can crop or manipulate the images to store them away.

The IPS screened versions, you need nothing else.

The Wi-Fi version has you log onto the scope from your phone, PC, tablet or laptop.
This fellow is using the Wi-Fi version of the flexible scope.

I bought the teslong 26” one and use it for rifles, pistol and for checking case separation. it is a little unhandy for pistols and cases but I am cheap retired and have a lot of time. I am very happy with it. It came with everything I needed.
 
For rifle borescope I like the non flexible. It offers 3 major advantages over the cable type:
- Easier to insert, turn and manipulate in general.
- You can mark the top of the rigid one to see where" up" is. Not as easy with the others
- Easier to reference spots in the barrel. There is a rubber stop you can slide down to give you a reference point. So for instance if you want to inspect the gas tube alignment in an AR, hold the scope beside the rifle with the mirror at the gas port and slide the rubber plug to where the end of the barrel lines up on the scope. Then just stick it in, with "up" pointing up and run it into the barrel until you get to the stop. You should be looking at the gas port.
 
The Teslong scopes I received were in cardboard tubes.
Others I have used came in a hard case.
But that case wasn't long enough for the Teslong. Search began.
I found one and received it today. It's a cheapie pool que case.
It can hold my short scope as well & the price is right.

My issue with the stiff one is that it's too short for guns with longer barrels. The flexible one works fine. Don't over spend for things that don't matter.
 
I've never used the flexible one myself. Just mentioned what I've read elsewhere.
The longer Teslong would be handy for, like a trapdoor.
I think the flexible one is like 36". Has no issues looking down my 30" barrels all the way into the chamber from the muzzle end.
