I mean I dont doubt what you guys say. It proably is on backwards.
But something was bugging me, I have seen scopes like this, and there is a reason for that. Are there any weapon experts in here? I admit, im not one. I just enjoy shooting them, I havent done to much digging into the history and manufacture of them.
Seems like these older scopes were shaped like this, and there is a reason for it I guess.
Again, this seems like common sense. But the size of the objective lens is directly tied to the magnification range of the scope. Have you ever noticed how lower-magnification scopes usually have a small diameter objective lens, while high-magnification scopes have larger ones? That's because the combination of these specs is what creates the scope's exit pupil size.
The exit pupil is the disc of light that actually hits your eye. This disc needs to be the right size in order to have a bright, clear image all the way through the magnification range. You can visualize this by taking an un-mounted scope, holding it in your hand with the objective lens facing up. Put a white piece of paper on a table below it and shine a flashlight through the scope. Make sure the scope is the same distance away from the paper as it would be from your eye if you were shooting. With the light shining through the scope, you should see a disc of light hit the paper on the other side. Move the scope up and down to see how the disc goes in and out of focus. Adjust the magnification, and you’ll see the disc get bigger and smaller.
There’s also a very ease mathematical formula to figure out what size your exit pupil will be. It’s the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification. This will give you the exit pupil diameter in millimeters.
98% certain that's a Trijicon VCOG scope and it's definitely on backwards, not to mention he's nose fucking the charging handle, and the stock is on top of his shoulder.

MALCOLM 20X VINTAGE TARGET SCOPE

The 20mm 1-4x scope with 20mm exit pupil at 1x and 5mm exit pupil at 4x.
There are scopes shaped like this and they have a use. Lol.

Yes a VCOG
