An automatically aligning riflescope display adapter (RDA) system can illuminate toward an eyepiece with a beam from a light emitter. The RDA system can activate a display which includes an electronic reticle visible through the eyepiece. Additionally, the RDA system can track, with a tracking sensor, a location of a scope reticle based on back reflection of the beam from direction of the eyepiece. The RDA system can detect an amount of optical misalignment between the scope reticle and rhe electronic reticle. The RDA systen can align the scope reticle with the electronic reticle.

A system, method, and device for configuring an optical aiming device for ballistic drop compensation (BDC). The optical aiming device can include a housing with a reticle pane defining a reticle display field viewable by a user and indicating a zero point, the housing further including a plurality of axially spaced lenses and defining an optical path therethrough. In various embodiments the system includes a display device configured to project an image generated from a display, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The computer readable data storage medium can include instructions executable by the processor to receive a first set of ballistics input data indicating a first type of ammunition, determine a BDC pattern including at least two holdover marks corresponding to at least two ranges for the first type of ammunition, and project the BDC pattern onto the reticle display field.

The present invention relates to target acquisition and related devices, and more particularly to telescopic gunsights and associated equipment used to achieve shooting accuracy at, for example, close ranges, medium ranges and extreme ranges at stationary and moving targets.

A turret cover for a turret assembly. In one or more embodiments the turret cover includes an upper portion including a turret housing defining a battery recess and an illumination recess. An illumination assembly can be mounted in the illumination recess. In various embodiments, the illumination assembly includes a downwardly facing surface including a lighting element. In various embodiments, the turret cover includes a lower portion including an exterior sleeve portion of an at least partially transparent plastic material and a plurality of etched adjustment marks. In some embodiments, the lower portion is at least partially inserted into the illumination recess such that an upwardly facing edge of the exterior sleeve portion is positioned adjacent to the lighting element of the illumination assembly such that, in operation, the lighting element illuminates the plurality of etched adjustment marks via an edge lighting process.

An adjustment assembly for riflescopes and related methods are provided. In one example, an adjustment assembly includes a knob configured to rotate about an axis, a disc having a trace, a first sensor configured to measure a value relating to a particular portion of the trace, and a second sensor configured to sense complete revolutions of the knob about the axis. The riflescope also includes a processor configured to correlate the value with an angular displacement of the knob about the axis relative to a zero point.

An electro-optic observation device, in particular a thermal imaging device, is provided. The electro-optic observation device includes a handheld device housing, a lens group arranged in the device housing on the entrance side, an image capture unit arranged in the device housing on the image side with respect to the lens group, an image display unit arranged in the device housing, an eyepiece arranged on the exit side with respect to the image display unit, and also a control device configured to control at least the image display unit depending on user-specifically variable parameters. In addition, the electro-optic observation device includes, as input means for varying the parameters, a rotary wheel accessible on the device housing for access by a user.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described which provide a camera mount system. The camera mount system can include, for example, a first optical element and a second optical element. Incoming light from a scope on a weapon, for example, is partially transmitted and partially reflected by the first optical element. The partially transmitted light passes through an eyepiece to a viewer (e.g., a shooter). The partially reflected light is reflected by the second optical element and is recorded by a recording device (e.g., a camera, a video recorder, an image sensor, etc.). The viewer has direct access to the scope optics, a spotting scope, or binoculars, for example, and the camera and the viewer have access to the same view.
