Optics planet has Lyman Borecam

I'd be careful buying from those con artists. I ordered a Lyman borecam that Optics Planet said was "in stock". Placed the order and after not receiving shipping info I called them. Come to find out it wasnt in stock and they had put me on backorder. Told them I didnt want to be on backorder because they had no idea when they would get them in. Cancelled the order and got my money back. A little pissed off, but oh well, folks make mistakes. I moved on.
Months later, placed another order with them when they said they had 4 in stock. Called them prior to placing the order online because of the last ordeal and they said that they indeed had them in stock. Called the two days later because I hadnt received shipping info. They said it was being packaged to be shipped out the next day. Next day came and no shipping info. Second and third day after the last phone conversation, no shipping info. Called again and they apologized that they didn't have it in stock and refunded my money again. That was the last straw. Will never buy from them again.

They may show to have them in stock but smart money says they aint got em and this is just the beginning of a long process ending with you liking posts like this one.
I just ordered one off of Amazon that was from a different company that had it in stock.. I did a search for Lyman Borecam on Amazon and this company came up. But, when I go back to look at it, It takes me to an Optics Planet Listing. If this is actually coming from Optics Planet, Amazon will hear about it. I spend enough with Amazon.
I finally ended up getting mine from Graf & Sons. Although the price was a little higher, I didn't have any issues and I love my new Lyman Borecam.
Cabela's has them in stock right now it seems.

NO THANKS!! I've heard that the depression that comes from scoping your bore will ruin your shooting. I want no part of it.

Savage 12 6BR. This barrel shoots better "dirty" - so I don't clean it as often. Just cleaned barrel and took some pictures. I found some pitting and copper. I'm still learning - so not sure if I did something incorrect along the way to end up with pitting.....

You may have shot it with some condensation in there. I dont see anything to keep it from shooting. Id iosso and flitz and jb that br barrel til i was sick of doing it then refoul it. Still has machine marks in it
Thanks Dusty. Little bit more cleaning and the copper came right out. This rifle/barrel has 800 rounds thru it. Shoots well. Never really preformed proper load development until I read Erik's thread. This was as far as I got with load development before winter (http://forum.accurateshooter.com/attachments/savage6br_2-jpg.967389/).
