I followed the guidance of several of the members here and bought a Teslong Bore Scope.
First thing. If you don't want to spend hours cleaning your rifles. Don't buy one.
Second thing. The quality of the camera is very good. It connected to my laptop without issue.
Finally. What I used to consider clean it far from it. I spent 2 hours with copper solvent, Kroil, and mother's mag polish.
The rifle went from shooting 1 1/2 to 2 inch groups. To shooting 3 into a sticky dot. This is factory corelockt ammo.
Over all it's money well spent if you like to obsess over things.
Thanks Natureboy.
 
New Tech once again is a game changer. Many old items are re-vamped through time.

How many knife edges did I lip over b4 I found out about the Lansky sharpening system. I care not to wonder hehe

All of them! Hahaha!

But, how many blades did my grandfather grind away to nubbin’s getting that perfect 15 degree edge?

All of them!:)

Some tools are for doing work. Some are for doing more work!;)

It's definitely an eye-opener, and is likely to move you a few steps closer (from wherever you started) toward being an obsessive-compulsive barrel cleaner. :)

And it's making me want to buy a nice crowning tool...
 
I also have a Teslong borescope and it has been a selling point as a gunsmith. Some people like to see how their barrel looks and the pictures and videos are nice to share with a customer. So far, it has helped me diagnose some very problematic rifles that were on the verge of getting a barrel replaced. First rifle I used it on was my own Savage Axis that shot okay but not good enough for what I would need in hunting. Borescope came in and I took a peak. It looked like someone had bathed the bore in liquid copper. A couple hours of cleaning later, the barrel looks better and shoots better as a result.

Surprisingly my Axis barrel didn't look too bad. It's my most neglected rifle as far as cleaning goes.

To a point he is. Some of my rifles are shooting great. So I'm not cleaning them when though there is obvious copper.
Others didn't shoot well and the scope showed almost non existent rifling in my Krag carbine because of extreme fouling.
My P-17 had a huge gouge near the muzzle. But serious cleaning and polishing tightened up accuracy.
My 30-30 wouldn't shoot cast well. But the scope showed it still had fouling in it.
It's clean now and waiting for a retest.
 
I have been adhering to your advice for over a year, but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out. o_O

I owned and used a Lansky for many years before I figured out how to use it properly by watching a few u-toob vids and understood the concept, but what great technology indeed!

I primarily use a RADA sharpener. If it takes more than that. I use a smith easy sharp.
I've never tried a lansky.

Happy to help ;)

I actually find that the Teslong has reduced my cleaning time because seeing the results allows me to assess which methods work best

Also, by not letting the hard carbon build up I avoid the considerable chore it takes to remove it

That's for sure. I'm going to be switching cleaning agents.
On a side note. My rifles that burn cfe223 are substantially cleaner than the others.

My loads that shoot VVN140 are also easier to clean compared to Varget and H4895

I got mine used so it was a crap shoot. The rifle looked very clean during my usual inspection. The borescope revealed so much more.
