The 6-27x72 SAM Riflescope by Carl Zeiss Optronics

The new 6-24×72 SAM riflescope from Carl Zeiss Optronics in Germany, the first of its kind with an integrated ballistic calculator, enables them to focus on the target in pressure situations.

Using the internationally proven 6-24×72 rifle-scope, Zeiss engineers in Wetzlar found a practical way to simplify the work of marksmen. They [put] an entire ballistic calculator into the compact riflescope assembly. Once the type of ammunition, range to the target, and wind speed and direction are entered, the Sniper Auxiliary Module (SAM) calculates the corresponding corrective values.

Marksmen do not need to take their eyes off the target: at the push of a button, the results of the calculation are displayed in the form of corrective clicks directly in the eyepiece. Furthermore, the current elevation, azimuth and cant settings can be read there, thus enabling marksmen to fully focus on the target.

UPDATE: What sort of rifle is that?
