Abstract

I present a new aiming adjustment mechanism for riflescopes featuring partially-rotatable wedge prisms. The optical adjustment mechanism introduced in this paper does not require any laterally-moving components, off- axis optical components or turrets. Furthermore, the wedge prisms used in the system have no optical axis which makes the proposed solution immune to many types of mounting misalignments or decentering errors caused by shock and vibrations.
