Rifle scopes have come a long ways from the early telescopes.
I had no idea until I saw this video just how far combat optics have come, and what things scope producers have thought to put into their tools.
If you are considering a rifle scope to use as defense against human targets, this sure looks like a good choice.
It likely is just fine in hunting applications as well. Though some aspects may need rethinking, the fundamental crosshairs at various ranges would still be great.
