I have had a borescope for a few years. I do agree what you see sometimes needs interpretation. In saying that I have rifles with new barrels and one can see machining marks in them. Looking at a new Remington barrel compared to a cut and lapped S&L barrel is chalk and cheese.
Where I find them useful is checking cleaning and copper defouling regime is working, and also buying second had rifles.
What is intriguing is how good some of the barrels I have in some of my older rifles. Some of most beautiful barrels I have are an early Winchester 30.30 1894, Gevarm .22, and Browning .22 auto.
But the bore scope has saved me from laying down big cash on high end rifles with supposedly mint barrels.
My 2cents worth.
