There was an article in the NRA publication about a new scope for rifles that has a full digital camera built in. Essentially you view your target through a camera, with a built in LCD screen. Some trivial ( to me, I do not shoot) details include a USB port, a Memory card, and a parallax free optical path. Why a memory card in a rifle scope? Who knows.... maybe you can download the sight of Bambi getting a bullet in her head so that you can sit at home with a long necked beer and enjoy the kill over and over on your 'puter..... The maker.... ELCAN..... In Texas... Yes, folks, our old friend E. Leitz Canada, in its newest incarnation. Price was just like Leicas...... About 10x what you would spend for a similar all analog scope from Japan. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
