Are you wanting just a simple bore light type,, or a rod insert with a magnified, lighted inspection mirror type like the Hawkeye?
The Hawkeye is a popular model,, but as noted, not inexpensive.
MDS sells one,, (or used to,,) that was half the price of the Hawkeye.
Lastly,, a Lyman is out there,, and it's the least expensive,, and comes with it's own viewfinder. And it can download to a SD card.

Contender, I don't know. I will look at the Hawkeye and see if that is what I want or if what Lyman has is what will fit my needs. I have a couple of rifles that I would like to inspect the bore of. I did see some inexpensive ones on Amazon but maybe something a bit better is what I want. Thanks, Jerry

The Hawkeye is the most expensive,, and it's a good unit. However,, in general,, the Lyman is an excellent tool for most jobs & inspections. I have used a Hawkeye, I have an MDS, and I also have the Lyman. I use the Lyman a lot more than the MDS.
