Two thoughts:

Is there a limitation on magnification on prismatic scopes? Could they make a 30x50?

I use ATN scopes simply because I can view the scope image on a device (phone) to aim my rifle. That is an outlay of $700 per rifle. If they ever developed an enhanced reality scope (heads up display projected on a pair of glasses) would you use it? I know I would!

@d3vnull Have you looked into DIY Night Sight setups? I’ve even seen cheap Night Sight knockoff on AliExpress for less than $200. I started to get one for my fathers who has poor vision, but he didn’t seem too interested. Something like this https://thefalconsight.com/products/night-vision-scopes?currency=USD&variant=41010162761880&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs8Dw4uG--QIVsHNvBB0qtA55EAQYAiABEgLCOPD_BwE
I think it’s a much cheaper alternative to using an ATN just to use a remote monitor to view though. A Tactacam FTS is another option, but will cost more than what’s linked above and less than an ATN. It can be easily transferred from scope to scope so long as your rings aren’t too low. I have one. I like it. You can use your phone or a tablet to view your scope sights. Here’s a video on it

I will look. I have not even used the night vision yet. Viewing the scope on the phone in realtime is what I need.

@d3vnull I edited my previous post with some links. Check them out when you have a chance. Www.DVOR.com had some tactacams on sale recently. You may want to look there to see if the sale is still going on. If it is it may end soon. What you would want is the Tactacam FTS (film through scope) with the Tactacam 5.0 camera.

Just dreaming.
I read a book by Stephen Hunter (Bob Lee Swagger series) and he described a scope in which the POI illuminates by use use of internal range finder. That would be dreaming.

Probably, but the size and weight would make it prohibitive to use, except mounted to a truck.
The "prism" itself would need to be the size of a desk top computer...or larger.

Contact "Primary Arms", they have the smallest prism scope/sights going right now.
