Teslong Length

[lazyMlazyK]

I'm looking at possibly getting a teslong borescope, mainly to keep an eye out for carbon ring and how how well my cleaning regimine keeps it at bay. I'd like a fixed, not flexible, model. My problem is, I try to avoid taking brakes off my rifles (unless they're really fouled up), and I shoot with 26" barrels foe the most part. The brakes that I use are APA Fat B@stards, Gen 3, so they're fairly long. Does anyone know if the 26" Teslong will be able to reach the throat area of the chamber on a 6 dasher without having to remove the brake? I don't have this rifle put together yet, and I don't have any brass yet, so I can't think of a good way to take much of an accurate measurement.

Note - I'm probably over-thinking this, thats what i do. There's probably an easy answer. Don't drag me too hard.

Go through the receiver

My other thing is, I'd like to be able to go in from the muzzle end with an empty case in the chamber in order to see how long I can let my brass grow before needing to trim.

You’ll probably be a little short in that case.

That's what I'm afraid of. I wish they made a rigid, 35" version.

Curious why you set on the rigid. I have the 45" flexible and I go in from the muzzle and the action end.

If you have a sacrificial piece of brass, drill out the head so the scope can go in through the back. Having the rifle muzzle down would facilitate keeping the brass snug in the chamber, but you should be able to work out a way to do that.

I check mine from the muzzle end, but this should work if you're set on the rigid version.

I have both rigid and flexible. The rigid rarely gets used anymore. Get the 45" flexible.

That’s interesting, is this just because of the extra length?
I have the flexible and thought maybe the rigid would give more control on the picture.

That's why I like the idea of the rigid. I think it would be easier to tell where you're looking if you see something interesting (up, down, sides).

you will get the rigid and want a flex, get the flex and wish for a rigid, I have the portable with flexible cable you can take it anywhere use it anytime, plus it comes with a set of mirrors 20 to like 45 cal, hard case and it stays charged for a long time

When using the rigid, I am constantly worried about bending and breaking it. I have had no problem keeping track of where I am at in the bore with the flexible camera.

They're cheap as sh*t. Get both. They both have their merits around the shop.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner....

Thanks for the replies folks. I ordered up the 45" flexible one with the display. Can't wait to try it out.

I love the flexible and it stores in about a 10" square case. Before I bought mine people complained about the rigid breaking easy so never even thought about it. Like LVLAron said, they are cheap.

So now that you have it, are you happy with it?

Sure am! Works great!

I just received the new foldable one. Highly recommended- you can focus it while it's in the bore like a hawkeye.

That will be such a great feature.
