    I’m honestly surprised that isn’t more of a thing already.

    Especially for high magnification scopes, it would have some big advantages. No parallax. No more worries about the size of the eye relief box. The scope can be mounted lower, closer to the bore (or really anywhere on the gun you want) without having to worry about messing up your ergonomics or cheek weld. Could potentially include software aids to adjust point of aim to compensate for distance … or even wind and other factors.

    Of course, it would only really be good for hunting or target/sport shooting. Because in any tactical situation, none of that makes up for the downsides: it relies on a fragile screen and fragile electronics, the scope (and perhaps the entire gun) becomes useless if the batteries run out, and the glow from the screen could give away your position to enemies – especially in the dark. Also, unless you fit it with some really fancy night vision camera system, it’s not going to work well in low light or darkness.
