ABSTRACT:
An image stabilization or vibration reduction facility for a riflescope and firearm has a transparent optical element that refracts incoming rays passing based on motion, to provide a stabilized image, which is transmitted to a user along an optical path of a rifle scope. A feedback transducer connected an output signal from the stabilization facility indicates a characteristic of the output signal. The transducer may be a second reticle that moves based on motion of the riflescope to indicate the degree of deflection by the stabilization facility, and may illuminate when the stabilization facility is in a neutral condition without deflection. The rifle may include a trigger block the prevents trigger operation until a neutral condition is detected. A rangefinder and wind indicator input may be provided, with the stabilization facility refracting the incoming image to compensate for bullet drop at the indicated distance, and for the effects of the indicated wind speed and direction; the riflescope may omit conventional bullet drop and windage adjustment elements.
