[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 567683, member: 9253"] You can probably find one used cheaper than that from someone who discovered that their expensive hunt was cut short by the Elcan's battery life. I don't consider them a practical hunting tool. They may have some uses for training as they have the ability to generate a real time video display and record shots automatically during actual shooting. They're no easier to set the elevation and windage than conventional target knobs. The basic concept is that its an ~5 megapixel CCD which covers the field of view of well over a degree. The LCD just displays a portion of the CCD image with a software reticle overlayed. Elevation and windage and zoom are just a maniuplation of what portion of the CCD is mapped onto the video display. That function has no moving parts. The objective and eyepiece focus are manual like normal scopes. The display is 640x480 color pixels (VGA resolution). It can be programmed for ballistic drop of any bullet but that's not very useful as it has has no rangefinder, wind speed, inclination, cant, , or air density sensors. The internal computer does not do ballistic calculations. The day/night version has dual color and infrared sensitivity (600-1000nm) but requires an IR illuminator (LED, Laser, or filtered HID). Starlight or moonlight alone aren't sufficient illumination. Anyway, save your money unless you want to make video clips of your shots. For that it works well. Back to the OP's question. There's just not much market for a 4" eye relief 16x scope. Here's one. Got to love the Chinese for being able to make it for 1/16 the cost of a Leupold Mk4 16x40 which doesn't even have the zoom feature.
