iScope.com - Amazing New Product
If you have a iPhone or other smart phones and are a hunter, then your going to want to get this. Just got mine a few days ago and love it. It allows you to take pictures and video through your smart phones screen. You can now film all your hunts with ease. I have a IPhone 6s and have already taken a few cool videos of deer and coyotes. Makes teaching young hunters shot placement effortless. And now you can record there first hunt and all of your hunts too come. I ran into one little bump with it, where it interfered with my bolt action but it was a simple fix they are aware of and are remedying it. I'll post some of my videos when I get them on utube. Was a little pricey because I'm impatient and ordered it from the states but I'm sure this will be in Canada soon. Cabelas has a similar product out but I tried it in store and it was crap. Very Whaley and not mounted well. I'm sure there will be products out there in the future that can do the same but for now this is the ticket. Let me know if you have one and how you like it/ don't like it.
$100 for iscope
$40 shipping
$62 exchange
But was the best $200 I've spent in a long time.

Some will argue that shooting wildlife, albeit not illegal, does not help the general publics opinion of hunting.
Ie: That bear hunt that went horrible wrong and was widely reported last fall. I have my opinion but will keep it to myself.

I love the cheapness of your design, and the fact that you put it on a Swaro is priceless.

Ya I totally get the home made ones. Many ppl make em but I always was a sucker for fancy toys. Mounts on pretty much any scope and only a few minutes to switch once you get the hang of it.

Built one similar to Ninjas, .49 cent pvc pipe cap, some two part epoxy, a drill to ream out pipe cap, and epoxy to mount to old otterbox case. Good to go, and mounts perfect to my Leupold Gold Ring spotter. Does excellent video and stills. Has really created an extension to my hunting season, now I picture hunt a lot more..

How in the world are you supposed to see through that well enough to shoot? and when you do shoot you merely look at the screen on your phone from 1/4" away???
or maybe you're supposed to shoot from the hip or something...
Especially for a first hunt this seems like a terrible idea. sure, tape it but this may not be the right way to do it. Duct tape a go pro or have your hunting partner tape it using his phone.

It will work for gophers and I have done it on 22 and 17hmr but on a Center fire like your Tikka, I would not recommend it specially when you are aiming at a life animal.
They may advertise it showing that it's works but I will not risking my iPhone to such a recoil and also when you take the shot, the recoil will mess up all your shot recording.
Yes as above, have your buddy record it on his rifle scope or spotting scope.

.204 has about as much kick as a strong burrito fart. Depending on who it is this could differ for some ppl but my burrito farts hardly kick at all. Lol

Same idea, but not the same thing. Can't remember but Cabelas or wholesale had the "same thing" and after research and talking to store clerks it was a piece of junk.

Possibly more difficult with bigger rifles but for my .204 it works great. I'll post video when I get a chance to try it. Tried it on a bottle at 100 and works great except the bottle didn't move with the .204 being such a hot little load, but the shot goes where ever you aim. Makes showing a child shot placement easy.

I wish the Torrey Pines Logic EagleEye GS 90-100 was priced so high. That's the way to go.
