Patent ID: 6886287

Claim:
A sight system for a handheld firearm, comprising: an optical assembly comprising a telescopic sight with an outer casing and an adjustment tube disposed within the outer casing the telescopic sight having a point of aim wherein the point of aim allows the firearm to be aimed at a target and wherein the adjustment tube is adapted to be moved within the outer casing with respect to an optical axis of the optical assembly to thereby move the point of aim of the telescopic sight; an actuator that extends through the outer casing of the telescopic sight and engages with the adjustment tube point of aim so as to urge the adjustment tube move with respect to the optical axis thereby allowing the point of aim to be adjusted; a movement mechanism that engages with the actuator extending through the outer casing wherein the movement mechanism causes the actuator to move thereby causing the point of aim to be adjusted with respect to a point of impact of a bullet fired from the firearm; and wherein the said actuator comprises an elongate member having a first end and an actuator axis that is generally perpendicular to the said optical axis, and wherein the said movement mechanism engages a first end and causes the said elongate member to move along the said actuator axis causing the said adjustment tube to move; and a remote controller that sends a signal to the movement mechanism which in response causes the one actuator to move.
