Sounds like the scope is heavy, but as the technology improves It’ll lose some weight.

When you use the range finder, it adjusts the poi of the reticle, using the ballistics info you put in the scope. Sounds like a ballistic calculator to me

I’m really not personally experienced with the Revic.this is from their site on what it’s computer does.

It should work on an air rifle just like it does on a "regular" rifle... as long you can enter all the ballistics info manually. Weight, velocity and BC. The only issue I have is that the minimum focus is 50 meters/yards. That does not work for me...
Did you check out the Burris Eliminator III or the Sig Sauer BDX? Both scopes have a ballistics calculator build in as well...
That said, I started a thread a while ago about the same "topic", if you want to call it that, Scopes with ballistic calculators build in. I came to the conclusion that it would make more sense to leave the scopes alone and just make the scope mounts have a servo build in that moves the scope up and down. That way people could keep all of their existing scopes, and more importantly, scope manufacturer can now build less "complicated" scopes because all the POI adjustments are done in the mount.
Think about it... You spent $3000 dollars on a nice scope. One that has the best turrets in the business. They allow for the best tracking there is, all day long. However, what is all that good for, if you do not dial for elevation, but rather use hold-over!? I do not need to spend $3000 dollars so I can end up just raising my rifle, ha ha.
On the other hand, the scope mount with a little build in servo or stepping motor will do the same, for way less money.
Anyhow, I hope I did not take this thread too far off topic!?
Thanks,

Yes and No. The Burris has a range finder build in, but it also has a ballistics calculator build in...

In other words, do not upgrade your computer. Instead learn how to use your current computer!?
How do you know that he needs to learn how to shoot!? Maybe he does know how to shoot and is just looking for something that makes shooting a bit "easier"!?

I know the military is developing a computerized sniper system that can make anyone into a ace sharpshooter.

I love how the guy is hanging out the window making himself a great target. You can give an idiot a smart scope but you will never fix stupid.
