buckeyeshooterRe: Scope/Camera Combo - BAD idea
I would not worry, I looked at the pricing and it was over $1500.00. It won't sell at that price!
Well, we should see in a few months, as the folks at 24hourcampfire.com are building a rifle which will be used by it's serious members. This rifle will be equipped with such a scope in order to share pictures with fellow board members.
Sure, it's not a Leupold (a favorite by far) but I expect the members to use the scope in a responsible manner.

Gonzo FreakPowerLet's get some opinions. Will the high price tag limit or increase the number of idiots buying this contraption. I'm not sure myself. Just think about all the idiots turning out at camp with all sorts of completely ridiculous gear that some slick salesman told them was indispensible.
There's a post on the Big Bore forum: "What makes you cringe?" Well add this to my list.

Does the world really need a new reason to point a gun at something that shouldn't be shot? < !--color-->19 August 2004, 11:22
Gonzo FreakPowerI read through Rifle Magazine the other day and saw a bad idea. The "Adirondack SmartScope" or whatever they called it. There's already lots of complaints about people using their rifle scopes for spotting. I don't understand how the lawyers who mandate 6lb trigger pulls could let this go out the door. There's way too many idiots out there for this to be made available to the general public.
