[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 945226, member: 39764"] Actually there are a couple manufacturers that make them but the others are for industrial cavity inspection, blinf hole inspection and internal component inspection, something I use the Hawkeye for plus it's a dandy way to look inside an engine to look at things like valve seats and how the compression rings (scraper rings) are riding the cylinder walls. In the grand scheme of things, a Hawkeye isn't all that much unless you opt for the angled eyepiece and extra extension rods and thats another couple hundred and with reasonable care, it will outlast you. For way less than a high end scope, you have a tool that you can use for kots of things besides rifle bore inspection. Anytime I look at a used firearm, I have my bore scope with me. I want to see the condition of the barrel inside before I buy anything. A 'pretty face' is no indicator of internal damage, heavy fouling or just plain neglect. A big enlightenment is lookiing at a factory barrel and then looking at say a Bartlien inside. Custom barrels compared to a factory barrel is night and day most times. [/QUOTE]
