This thing is SWEET!! Talk about an AWESOME Tool for Muzzleloaders, Any firearm, All forms of them. I find it Especially Cool for Sidelock Muzzleloaders like i use, Simply because you Can’t See Through them, This Thing allows you to get inside there and Look Around, in VIVID Detail!! I am THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED to say the least!! I am a pretty HARSH guy on things if I don’t like it, or I don’t Believe in it? I call it being Honest

On a Scale of 1-10, This Teslong Borescope gets a SOLID 10 +++++ This thing is Really Good for the Price, I would expect something of this Quality to be Several Hundred Dollars? NOPE, 50 Bucks is what i paid. These things have come a LONG Way over the last few years, I have been wanting to get one for awhile now, But i have held out. I almost bought the Lyman, But after seeing a Gunsmith Friend of mine use his in my .300 Win Mag Chamber, I wasn’t impressed with it at all! That Lyman is NOWHERE Near the Quality of this Teslong, and The Lyman is like 200 Bucks or more.

Mine is laying across the keyboard as I type, really like it. Shows what your cleaning regimine is getting done pretty easily. Worst of it is, you'll really start to question some of your factory barrels, even those that still shoot pretty well. With the magnification, flaws show up really large.

I absolutely agree!! I have seen some Terrifying Stuff :)

This being one of Them, this was 32” inches deep, just as you enter the Patent Breech, I flushed the Barrel out, It was a Darn EARWIG :)

I can't seem to find it for $50; listed on Amazon for $75.

TB; that's NOT the model IdahoLewis has and was describing. Look closely and you will see it DOESN'T support Wifi, i.e. iPhone or iPad. I might have to throw down for the $75 if all else fails.
Thanks for looking.

Different brand but mine is good (15$), got it to check brake pads on car (inside). Larger dia, the mirror doesn't go into 308 bore. Still useful.
edit: mine is actually Teslong but sold under a different label. USB model, LED lights. Resolution is great but had to make a 45 deg. mirror from reflective decorating mylar on the end of a plastic rod.
If my computer desk was next to the window I could use it as security camera (split screen on computer).

The camera is exactly the same. The new version if wifi and for Apple based phones and pads. Otherwise it is the exact same.

Remember, This thing is NOT the Greatest in Larger Bores, especially Head on Without the Little Angled Mirror, Where This Borescope SHINES is UP CLOSE and Personal Detail with the Little Angled mirror looking at the Bore Walls (Like in my Video above, and Pictures) This Setup lacks if you Simply Want to Run it Straight Down a Bore Looking Head On.

Exactly the same with my Hawkeye from Gradient Lens which also benefitted greatly from upgrading to LED light.

I’m really liking mine also. Once you get the mirror adjusted for the bore size it’s very clear. I’ve been cleaning on a stubborn Bergara 6.5 creedmoor barrel.

I remember someone paying 500+$ for something similar a few years back. Looks like a really nice tool at an attractive price. Thanks for sharing.

A friend gave me one, I had my son come over and set it all up, took one look at my "target" rifle, an 03-a3 that I shoot in our monthly milsurp matches (does quite well), well to say I was disappointed is an understatement, that poor thing looked like a county road after a rain, I have 30 or 40 guns, that is the only one I ever looked at, I can't even remember where I even put that thing, I figure if I don't know for sure I can always blame it on a crooked gas check
