Abstract
A riflescope includes an objective optic assembly with a bottom surface that defines a scoop. Upon mounting the riflescope, the scoop receives a portion of a firearm. The scoop eliminates interference between the objective optic assembly and the firearm and allows a centerline of the riflescope to be placed in closer proximity to a centerline of the firearm.
