A buttstock periscope assembly comprising:
- a buttstock comprising a rear face for placing against a shooter's body and a front face opposite said rear face, wherein a longitudinal axis extending from said rear face to said front face is parallel to a shooting axis directed away from the shooter's body;
- and
- an image receiving surface and an image viewing surface mounted in or on said buttstock, said image receiving surface having a retracted position, and said image receiving surface and said image viewing surface having deployed positions in which said image receiving surface and said image viewing surface are spaced from each other, wherein said image receiving surface when in the deployed position is aligned with the shooting axis and when in the retracted position is not aligned with the shooting axis, and images captured by said image receiving surface are viewed along said longitudinal axis at said image viewing surface, and wherein said image receiving surface is mounted on a gimbal so that said image receiving surface is pivotable in two angular directions.
