    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    Good points ptosis, but I think you may have a flaw in assuming the camera was too far away from the scope. I would think that the point of view for the camera would be at the camera's objective lens, not at a point inside the camera body (Just like a 1x scope is 1x from the objective lens, not...
