Laxco SmartScope
The SmartScope is billed as the “world’s first fully automated auto-targeting” riflescope that has the features of a standard riflescope, but incorporates an auto-targeting system with a built-in digital rangefinder. The scope actually provides bullet drop compensation visible in the eyepiece, while the conventional layout of the 4x-16x-44mm scope permits manual windage adjustment. ($1,500; www.laxcoinc.com)

Even at a low power setting, this scope is designed to present a wider field of view for edge-to-edge clarity. ($1,250; www.leupold.com)
