Rifle Scopes FinnAccuracy MSR Digital

April Fool prank, I would say. Pretty sneaky BUT much better for profile raising than the long range .22 long rifle ballistic spreadsheet they have recently published.

Can’t say I haven’t fallen for one of these before.

Cleverly done, FinnAccuracy!
I've had the thought of creating a digital scope reticle of some kind before, though. Think of something more akin to an HD camera rather than a scope. The reticle would be just a digital image, not something actually etched into the glass, and would eliminate mechanical travel limits. Plus, you could add digital zoom on top of mechanical zoom, further increasing the zoom range. And of course you could add all the fancy HUD data that the Revic and Steiner's new scope would have. Throw in an LRF and a wind meter, and the "scope" could theoretically adjust the "reticle" automatically when you glass a target, so it'd be just like in the video games. Just put the crosshairs on whatever you want to shoot and pull the trigger. No more need to hold over or dial elevation, and wind calls would be much simpler.
I'll keep dreaming, though. We're headed in that direction, but we're still a looong ways off!

Now that I have re-read the original post, I should have known better. It said 3.6 teraflops of processing power. Missed that but I was drinking a wee bit at the time.

This really was the icing on the cake.... nice job guys! Lol
Yes. This is way more believable than that was, but I know a bunch of people who thiught those were real too, haha.
I realize this is about 2 years old already- sorry for slow reaction. Actually I specified CPU to be 338 terafrops. Should have wrote 0.338, to give bit better clue
