New Lyman BoreScope with Digital Screen and Output to Laptops
Every rifle shooter should have access to a borescope. These devices reveal the condition of the inside of your barrel. Do you have a carbon ring problem? Is there jacket fouling near the muzzle? Are the edges of your lands worn away? All these common conditions can be revealed by a quality borescope.
UPDATE: MSRP will be under $300.00 and the unit should be available in March. Lyman told us: “We expect to have these available in March 2015. The price is expected to be $299.95. We will have this available for pre-order via our website in early 2015.”
And now new digital/optical technology makes the borescope easier than ever to use. For 2015, Lyman will introduce a new, affordable borescope that employs digital imaging (with a micro-camera). You no longer have to peer into an old-fashioned eyepiece. With the new Lyman borescope you can view the inside of your barrel via a small portable display screen. That’s handy. In addition, the borescope images can be displayed on your laptop or mobile device. Lyman provides a USB cable and software that allows you to view the borescope’s image output on your computer (plus you can record images for future reference). The unit fits bores .20 caliber and larger.
Sorry, we don’t have an exact price yet, but we’ve been told that this new product will be less expensive than current, conventional precision borescopes with glass-lens eyepieces. Here’s what Lyman says about it’s new product:
New product tip from EdLongrange. We welcome reader submissions.Lyman’s new Borescope provides active shooters with the means to carefully inspect the bores of their firearms for wear, throat erosion, tool marks, and other rifling or chamber damage, as well as for checking for fouling. The scope will fit 20 caliber and larger barrels and works with miniature camera technology. The display will show a clear image of the inside of the barrel and also allows you to take a photo of the bore. The image will storage on a standard SD card and can later be viewed on a computer or lap top. A separate cable (with USB connection) and CD are also available so that the Borescope rod can be connected directly to your computer or lap top. If you prefer to view only on your computer or lap-top, the Borescope rod is available separately (without the display unit) and plugs into the computer with a USB connection.

Price??????????????????????????
Now I just know one of these will be on my 2015 shopping list.
They ought to make it adaptable to smart phones. Perhaps it will be?
They’ll sell a truck load if the price is reasonable.
Please send me info and price of the new Lyman Bore Scope, when available.
Thank you,

That would be really helpful when you have to clean out the bores. I like that it has a little scree with it so you can see where you still need to clean. Hopefully this makes your gun shoot a little better. I would like to see the difference between using this scope and just cleaning it the old fashioned way.
That is pretty cool that you would be able to connect your borescope to your laptop. That seems like it would give you a bigger picture. Then you would be able to recognize things a lot easier. http://www.usaborescopes.com
Well it said March, now I see june. Any idea what is really going on.
Not one to give out for review yet?
Editor: We have asked for a review unit, but so far, we haven’t received the Lyman product for testing yet. If we can get one, we’ll definitely post our findings.
This unit does NOT connect to an external computer via USB for live viewing. You have to save a still image to an SD Card and transfer the image to your computer. Otherwise, live viewing can only be done via the supplied mini screen.
Just ordered mine at 229.00 plus shipping at 15.00. They are coming online finally.
This could be very useful. I will order one.
Having a video borescope is good if you know what to look for, otherwise its like having a mechanic’s tool set and no training in how to use them. There needs to be some kind of guide or book that informs
Us as to what Im looking at and what caused the condition, and what can be done or should be done.
Good Morning
Do you have any Lyman borescopes in stock
Thanks Vince
