General Overview
* Reduced AP usage for most scopes
* Variable magnification/function scopes now "actuated" via Scope Modes feature vs Item Transformation feature specific "Iron Sights" no longer implemented via on-weapon Percent Cap bonus, now long arms for the most part have a 10% Percent Cap bonus (this you might remember was one of the original NCTH aides my mods implemented, and is also the same bonus used by larger/longer barrel pistols to portray benefits of a longer sight radius)
* Scopes with magnification below 3x no longer remove the 10% Percent Cap bonus


Detailed Mechanics / Change Log 
(2015 Draft Scope Patch v0.1 20150503)
* Most Long Arms, <PercentCap> = 10, was variable depending on broad "guestimate" of quality of the iron sight (or was already just 10 for weapons where an "iron sight" bonus was never accounted for under the last NCTH implementation)
- - most shotguns now benefit from this as well
* All Scopes:
- - <PercentAPReduction> = 0, was variable depending on the scope's power, affects both NCTH and OCTH
* Scopes with Magnification below 3x
- - <PercentCap> = 0, was a variable penalty meant to zero out
* Scopes with Magnification of 3x and higher
- - <PercentCap> = -10, simply zeros out the long arm bonus
- - <PercentHandling> (Standing) = 2x <ScopeMagFactor>, was variable with "class" of magnification as opposed to directly linked
- - <PercentHandling> (Crouching) = <ScopeMagFactor> rounded to nearest integer, was carried over from Standing for the most part
- - <PercentHandling> (Prone) = 0, was carried over from Standing for the most part
