I think they would do better to develop this kind of tech for the tactical crowd. Something truly amazing (and several years off) would be a combination digital day/night/thermal scope with automatic rangefinding and onboard machine vision algorithms to aid with target ID and even windage calculations. Build it into a AGOG-sized package and sell them by the truckload to the militree. :)
 
I wonder how good they are after exposure to a season or two being heated in the desert sun, and frozen in subzero temperatures. Even conventional scopes have a hard time with extremes and in between, mositure, vibration and shock. Probably "neat" when new, inside warranty, and the batteries work/can be found. But I would not want to rely on their longivity.

Wasn't something like it (integrated rangefinder, nightvision, calculates drop and adjusts the cross) concieved for OICW program? FN has also something like it for F2000 AR, Fire Control Computer as they called it.

For some others, I've noticed that Meopta has a digital scope - Meosmart that does record the snap-shot of firing. http://www.meopta.com/index.php?id=132&lang=en
