I�ve always thought the older sigmoidoscopes would be perfect for bore scopes. The old ones aren�t real expensive on eBay. Problem is, the light source.

Welch-Allyn come 11 mm (.43") X 25 cm (10") and 15 (.59") X 25 cm

Gotta have some used ones laying around somewhere

If anyone needs a high quality tool like that, it�s you Drew.

There actually is a way to do this with a bolt gun, and without a bore scope of any kind. You bore sight the gun, then on a good rest, fire a shot at the bullseye. You then put the crosshairs back on the center of the bullseye and, holding the rifle perfectly still, you adjust the crosshairs, using the turret adjustments, until the crosshairs move to the previous bullethole in the target. The next bullet will go very nearly perfectly to the point of aim.

Now, could you explain how a bore scope could assist in this?

Thanks, SrH

Stan. I, personally, have a small bit of trouble looking through the scope and holding a screwdriver in the turret slot and making the windage and elevation adjustments using the method you suggest and I was thinking of. The camera directed through the scope allowing me to watch the adjustments on a monitor would make this easier. Not necessary but easier. I thought everyone would have been able to deduce this? Of course, you wouldn't know because you don't know me, but about 40 years ago I suffered neck and shoulder damage that limits my range of motion. I forget I'm not the same as others. Then I try not to be bitchy about it. I don't like having to explain it either but for you, there you go.

I did not mean to come off as smart-aleck. My apologies if I did. I should have worded my request a bit different. But no, I really didn't understand how you were meaning to use a borescope to accomplish that. Since they are designed to look down a bore I had no idea you were going to use it to look through a riflescope.

Maybe I'm the only one here who did not deduce your methodology, but then............... I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. A simple explanation of the way you proposed to use it would have been sufficient. You were under no compunction to explain your physical limitations to me. I am sorry for your limited range of motion, and hope the borescope deal works with flying colors.
