Serious question:
Has anyone released a digital rifle scope to replace the traditional optical rifle scope for daytime use yet?

I was watching some brilliant night vision/thermal pest control videos from the USA recently and it hit me - surely its just a matter of time before it's adapted for daytime hunting?


Semi-serious Question:
Imagine one of these thermal scopes, make it waterproof and adapted with both optical and digital zoom like a high-end Sony video camera. Setting your zero would be child's play, and imagine 1 - 200x variable scope power. You could program zeros with range proven ballistic data for different loads. Battery tech & reliability have both come a long way. You could say, capture video (& audio) to a micro USB or send video wirelessly to your smart phone via bluetooth and REALLY become a hero on Creed-Tik-Tube-Moor or whatevers the next social media sharing platform.



Stupidity/Whimsy:
If you REALLY want to annoy the grumpy old beardos - imagine the stupid "Buck Rogers Gear" the tight-jeans, zero-fade set would drool-over. Ridiculous things like Augmented Reality tech that could be overlain on a headset like "Google Glass" or an AR visor . . . . I know, I know - really going too far but it's probably coming from Modern Warfare The next Generation video game . . . .
