Cameron. I also had an ex proctologists bore scope. When I first used it I thought no wonder my gun wont shoot, the bore looks like Sh?t, but then I gave the lense a wipe and the bore looked good again.
I did do a trial at work a few days ago between 2 borescopes, one was about $30000, the cheapy was $4000, but both no good for rifle barrels.
Gotta say though, the Hawkeye borescope does the job its intended to do.

G'day all,
I must concur with Dazza, we both work together (he's cost me a lot in rifles these last 15yrs!)........and some shooting humiliation. thanks mate
Dazza has a whole career of experience with boroscopes and if anyone knows the value of a boroscope it would be him. With the aussie $ around parity, affordability doesn't get ANY better than this. Parity = a once in a life time opportunity for shooters.
I've got a hawkeye and it is invaluable for KNOWING the barrel is clean, so it it shoots, keep going. Plus it saves a lot of cleaning time and as a consequence reduces cleaning rod damage to bore. It cant tell you if it is worn out but you can see obvious damage and fouling and if the clean bore wont shoot, its either the load or time for a new barrel.
If the boroscope helps to keep you barrels clean, then scores should improve and help those barrels last that little bit longer..........and if the cost is an issue, getting 200-400 more shots out of your barrels will pay for it in the average shooting career.
Cheerio Ned
