I was shooting my springers and was thinking back about all the issues I had chasing wandering scope POI. I know that there are solutions out there with recoilless actions where the scope stays still (not the RWS 54 action, similar to the Norica Omnia action), dampa mount, Diana ZR mount etc . These are all good products with Pros and Cons. As a Field Target shooter (and I know all Bench Rest shooters), we demand absolute precise POA and POI performance from our scopes.
In this day and age of electronics, I was wondering if any scope makers has looked at digitally replacing the scope erector tube system. As I understand it, this is were some springer scope failure occurs. Why are we still relying on scope spring pressure, and precision screws/gear (elevation and windage turrets) when these mechanical system can be replaced electronically and digitally displayed onto the objective lens? I'm proposing a system similar to a red dot display (but with cross hairs and mil hash) and when you click/dial for elevation changes, the cross hair changes the display electronically.
I did a quick google search about erector tubes and electronic reticles, I got one hit (I'm not an expert at google searches)
Not sure if this product replaces the erector tube system or is just a digital display?
Hopefully this thread can spur some innovative product development and give us a more reliable scope product.
