[QUOTE="shinbone, post: 2898362, member: 15248"] The Teslong Borescope is a beautiful thing. Since purchasing one, I always check the bore/throat/chamber before shooting a new rifle for the first time. Results: I had a new Nosler rifle show a crooked throat just like in your video I sent it back to Nosler, and they re-barreled it for free. This alone paid for the borescope. Also, had a new MRC 1999 show the same thing, and, same result - sent it back to the maker, and they rebarreled it for free. In each case, the chambering man ruined a perfectly good barrel. I am thinking discovering this problem before ever shooting the rifle probably made getting new a barrel easier, because the manufacturer knew it could reuse the barrel. Unfortunately, this is bad news for the next buyer if he doesn't have his own borescope to protect himself. Include the borescope photos when you communicate with the maker for the first time. It lets them know that you know exactly what the problem is, and thus can’t be BS’d. [/QUOTE]
