Thread: Bore Scope

Greetings,
A quiet Christmas lunch today as not many of the wider family live locally. Fortunately I had asked my son to bring his bore scope out to check over some barrels. Two .308 target rifles have been hibernating in the gun safe since the late 1980's when I aquired them from a workmate. The question was were the barrels good enough to go to the trouble of mounting a scope. So after lunch we all headed out to the garage for the show. Neither of the barrels showed much erosion as I think they had both been installed not that long before I got them so the Omark will likely get a rail fitted and a scope installed. The second rifle is a P14 converted to .308 and still has it's ears. It might have to wait a while, a back up barrel perhaps.

Scope fitting to a target rifle has been an idea I’ve considered too GPM. I have a ‘spare’ Grunig &Elmiger (Kreiger barrel?) in .308 sitting here. I haven’t moved forward on the idea as 1) rifle is already heavy 2) it seems too nice to alter 3) I fear drilling and tapping the Grunig would kill its appeal.

Back in the mid 1980's I bought a Parker Hale 1200 target rifle and fitted a scope. Later I got Dinney rechamber it for .30-06AI. It shot very well but got nowhere near the velocities claimed by some. The idea was a longer range rifle than my .308 which it achieved just barely.

Well, bore scopes.
Ok, after thinking barrels are clean which yes I use wipe out which gives me barrels that are clean, I have always wondered about carbon rings as I have understood how hard they are to remove and can cause havoc with pressure.
So forward from that I have now looked through two of the latest teslong versions and amazed at how far the quality of the images have improved from the early ones I have used.
One was rigid running through wifi and your phone and the other flexible with its own monitor.
Both were spectacularly great.
I chose the flexible one myself as it had its own monitor.
If your questioning your cleaning routine you need one of these!
Almost essential if your serious about barrel performance.
The Carbon ring in my 308 is another thread.
