I've been looking at scopes for a while and the price of some seems far to expensive for what you get. This got me thinking why don't they give you more for the money like a range finder as part of the scope or a scope that adjust itself for range. The technology is there to make a very cleaver scope but I have not seen one yet. Do they make such a thing?

There are a few, I have a feeling Barrett and Zeiss have produced something, I will see if I can track them down.

There is always the Zeiss Hendsoldt, probably costs more than my PMII plus the AI together....
This optic integrates superb, ultra-bright apochromatic fluorite glass with a calculator module that provides ballistic info and weather data to the shooter. SAM stands for “Sniper Auxiliary Module”. An integrated ballistics calculator can be programmed for up to four different types of ammo. Sensors in the integrated ring mount measure weather parameters. These values, as well as scope data, are then directly projected into the visual field of the eyepiece. This provides selectable displays of elevation clicks, windage clicks, angle of fire, cant angle, temperature, and air pressure.

I like the Pentax “Ultimate Zoom” scope and not a silly price but still seems a shame they don't offer parallax auto range etc The bolt on Barrett Bors is good but how much.
I must just be a gadget freak.
