I am looking at getting a borescope and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. I won't be using it a ton so I'm not looking to spend a lot on it but want one that will work to check my rifles.
Recommendations for a borescope

I bought this one from Amazon and it works okay. $21 and it shows an additional 30% off coupon for me.
Teslong bore scope is what I have. It provides very clear views and photo's.
Another vote for Teslong. Available on Amazon.
I have a Teslong 450 that I purchased 7 or 8 years ago with the flexible cable for my muzzle loading rifles. Works well but it will drive you nuts thinking that your rifles bore has been bored and rifled with a corncob. It shows ALL of the details of the bore - good and bad. The probe does a fine job of looking forward (clear picture) but the 90-degree picture can be a bit "fuzzy" and finicky to get a sharp picture (mirror adjustment). Love it - Hate it.
About 2 months ago I purchased the ridged metal probe for my Teslong 450 bore scope to use on my modern center fire rifles and I like the ridged probe better than the flexible probe BUT it does not come in a longer length (26-inch length only) for the longer muzzle loader rifle barrels, so you are stuck with the flexible probe model. The largest side mirror is the .40 caliber size which is OK for the large bores of most muzzle loading rifles.
The bore scope is a fun tool to have just don't freak out when you see the inside of your rifle's bore for the first time!

Do you know which model you have?
Can't answer for him, but I have a Teslong WF150, and the reason I got that model is because it works over WiFi with my iPad.
I attached a section of a .22 rifle cleaning rod to my flexible scope and it does a better job of getting things clearer.I have a Teslong 450 that I purchased 7 or 8 years ago with the flexible cable for my muzzle loading rifles.

Same scope - new - on EBay for $126.99
Since I do not have a cell phone I needed the one with its own monitor hence the greater cost

Teslong with WiFi. Will send image to any WiFi device.
The receiving device does need the Teslong WiFi app, so make sure that's available for the target device. I know iOS and Android are supported for the borescope I have, and the instructions have scan codes for downloading the app.

Editing of some of the responses was due to complaints about conforming to rule 34.
