[QUOTE="wonderman4, post: 1320462, member: 72101"] I don't post often, but thought I would offer this. I have the Lyman Bore Cam. It is a good tool. I bought a rifle last October for the BIL's retirement gift. It set in the safe 'til after Christmas before I started working on it. When I got some ammo loaded for development, I figured I would scope the bore just to see. [ATTACH]76554.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]76555.vB[/ATTACH] As you can see the barrel has lots of chatter marks from breech to muzzle. I took it out and shot 15 rounds and came home and scoped the barrel again. There was one streak of copper 10" long on one side of the barrel. I know this because the camera rod is marked off as a ruler. Also, part of the lands looked like a miniature mill file and it held copper quite well. I sent the pictures to Savage, and they told me to send the rifle to them so I did. I haven't gotten it back yet, but they just received it yesterday. Before I sent it back, I gave the barrel 2 treatments with Sharp ShootRs Wipeout with the Accelerator and all the copper was gone. Draw your own conclusions as to the worth of a bore scope, but I am so glad I have mine. [/QUOTE]
