if this has been posted i havnt seen it ----any info on that omega scope( ranger finder /video) saw it on tv the other night
So it's a "Day Use" only unit. OK.... It's video camera at the heart, with an integrated range finder and a brain. I looked through their FAQs and they don't seem to talk about how you load the ballistic info. for your weapon nor how you adjust focus on the camera (might be auto). Interesting but I'd have to see the screen in use, test it's accuracy, understand how it's programmed and know how long the battery life is to be sold on it's value.The video is on Omegasights.com
Its a stand alone style not an add on.Pretty neat setup but i am like you with concerns about the LCD.
"Within the sight, we have a superimposed adjustable MilDot Reticle for aiming purposes."First I heard of it, pulled it up looks interesting, would like more info on it and reviews I wonder if you can sight it to different yardages and if so how far
Having a fixed zoom is a bit of a downer.
In this video it says if you move the zoom, you have to re-sight weapon. I can see myself accidentally hitting the zoom button and being screwed.
Im in the same boat with the same questions about battery life and settings.I like the idea of an all in one package like this but they are very vague on details about use.I will wait til better info is out or i see one in use for sure.I believe it uses two button cell batteries also.Makes me think your not going to get to much run time.So it's a "Day Use" only unit.

Yea,I'm too old and too stupid to use that thing. My "Golden Years" are best served using the K.I.S.S. theory as a basis for most everything.
