Bought a cheap bore scope online, it was basically a toy

Wasted about forty bucks on one of those little USB cameras that looked okay in the pictures. The thing wouldn't even fit down a .22 barrel, and the picture was so fuzzy I couldn't tell a carbon ring from a scratch. What's a decent budget option that actually works?

My buddy had the same problem with a "toy" scope. He got one that claimed to fit a .22. The lens was so bad it made his rifle barrel look like a cave painting. He ended up getting a Teslong off Amazon for around sixty. The rigid cable actually fits, and you can see the rifling clear as day. Night and day difference.

My last cheap scope made my barrel look abstract art...

Yeah, that "cave painting" look is exactly right. It's not just blurry, it's like the whole image is swimming. Makes you wonder if you're looking at fouling or just a bad lens. A clear scope is the only way to actually learn what's going on in there. Spending a little more saves so much guesswork.
