[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1177684, member: 5219"] I own a hawkeye borescope and use it regularly. It is a worthwhile investment. things you can do: learn what cleaning methods work best for each barrel you own. see if the crown is in good shape. You would be amazed how many new rifles have poor crowns. see if the throat was cut properly inspect the action where the bolt lugs make contact inspect the chamber for scratches or anomalies inspect dies inspect brass cases for beginnings of a case separation you can see the color of the primer in a case (one time I had some previously primed cases and wasn't sure if it was 210s or 215s) After chambering a rifle I studied the throat. I noticed some very minor burrs on the trailing edge of the lands. I was able to determine the first shot removed all traces of those rough edges. If you were considering buying used gun you will KNOW the bore's condition I am sure there are more things you can do with a bore scope....... Check the dog's ears for fox tail seeds... not really, just kidding [/QUOTE]
