I'd like to hear whether anyone has tried one of these as well for simple/casual bore inspection. The 7 mm model linked above would obviously only be useful for larger calibers, but several manufacturers make 5.5 mm models that should be small enough for a .22 caliber barrel. For the price, I certainly wouldn't expect anywhere near the resolution of a Hawkeye (or similar), but for such a small cost I can imagine it might be a useful item to have in the range box for a quick look at the bore in some circumstances. The real key will likely be whether the resolution is sufficient to actually see anything useful.
I'm with John, but the VA does mine for free.

I have one. You can see details in the chamber and throat quite well. Inside the barrel not so well, but you get a general sense. I've read one guy fabricated a fixture to ride in front of the probe to provide light reflection from the internal light source to correct this.
Yes I've got a few and made a fiber optic light for it . The light was also from Amazon , it was originally intended to go in girls hair ( the light ) .
It is only so so , it luck if you get one that will be clear 1" in front of the lens . Yup I've got a few , I had to experiment with them .
They work good for case and die inspection, automotive work etc

Bought a 15 meter fiber optic camera/usb connected with a lighted tip. .20 I think. The only thing good about it is that it does work. But not well. No focus, kinda on the edge of blurry, but I can make out a little details with it. I bought the Lyman and never used the cable thing again, though it is water proof so maybe later if needed.

I have one and it works well if you clean the bore and lightly oil it so the light is more reflective. It helps greatly if you can position a light at the opposite end or attach something in front of the camera that will reflectt he light for better viewing. For the price you can't go wrong.
