What scope
« on: January 19, 2009, 12:58:36 PM »
What is the difference in a rifle scope and a shotgun scope,is it in the FOV of the scope and what is that?

Nope FOV has nothing to do with it. Mostly it's the distance at which parallax is set to zero. Much closer on a shotgun scope than rifle scope.

I could be wrong but I believe FOV stands for Field Of View
