Hey all, I have a Skeets bore gauge, but I'm looking for a digital bore gauge.

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent bore gauge?

Stay well my friends

This is the tool that I use, but mine is set up with a Mitutoyo dial. Pretty expensive stuff.

Probably more cost effective to just keep using your skeets gauge.

I have a Stan Baker Bore Gauge set, and three sets of Plug Gauges to measure shotgun bores. My Stan Baker set has an analog or dial type indicator, but that could easily be swapped out for a digital indicator. If you are otherwise happy with your Skeet's Bore Gauge, simply replacing the dial type indicator might be an option to consider.

I see a pretty wide range of prices for digital indicators, but don't know anything about the quality, accuracy, or reliability of the much cheaper imports.

Thanks Dustin, yep, a tad more than I'd like to spend.

Guess you're right.....I'll stick to my Skeets

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated!

Can the indicator on a Skeets be switched from analog to digital?
