It could be that the ocular end of the scope is significantly farther away from the camera lens than the objective end, and hence, it looks smaller. Or it could be measurably crooked (about a millimeter from one end to the other).
Anyhow, at the objective end (assuming an 18 mm opening) the horizontal separation of the scope center from the barrel center appears to be 15.6 mm or .61 inches
Thanks, Drew. Is this taking into account the measurement I found for diameter of the ocular end of the scope of 1.062 inches?
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
