[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 511607, member: 2736"] The bore scope is an invaluable tool and has many uses. They can resolve any issues or questions that can't be answered by looking down the barrel. I have looked down many barrels in over 50 years of hunting and shooting and was amazed the first time I used one. Looking through a barrel you have only one plane to look at and if it is reasonable good and clean it can look great. But when you look at the Chamber, Neck and throat area, free bore, rifling and the crown 90o to the bore It becomes obvious that all is not as good as you had thought. It is the only way to really look at a Crown. And even though you think you have all of the copper and carbon there is only one sure fire way to know and that is with a Bore scope. The carbon buildup at the end of the case neck is almost impossible to see with out the scope. They are an expensive tool and may not be nessary for the average hunter that shoots under 400 yards with factory ammo, But just like the chronograph, a bore scope can be an invaluable tool for the long range hunter/shooter. If you watch on line you can find some good deals on used ones. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
