Or anything different, the red stuff looks horrible.

Agreed. The varmint rifle night-vision scope looks pretty decent as well.

I've actually made a request for something like this myself. Perhaps different scope mods available for a personalization. This would require a "demodding" tool though so people could experiment and find what they like. If i knew how to modify the crap i would make it myself... But no one will even tell me (i've asked multiple times).

A side note, i like how game devs add in random, unrealistic and exaggerated effects to make things seem more realistic. Whens the last time you got lens flair in your eyes...? Its a valid argument that sometimes realism is unrealistic, but its funny when you notice it, because most people dont.

Demodding tool? All you need to do is rename a DDS texture file to overwrite the scope you want to change. Or edit the texture directly using Photoshop or GIMP with the DDS add-on. The DDS files are in Textures2\textures\weapons\scope. Use a BSA unpacker like FOMM includes to extract the files. I've already unpacked and edited the one for binoculars in my Better Binoculars mod if you want to experiment.

Lol just downloaded the better binoculars.
