4. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 further comprising one or more ring mounts sized to connect the Picatinny rail to a weapon scope.

5. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 4 further comprising two ring mounts axially spaced from one another, each ring mount securely attached to the weapon scope.

6. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 5 wherein each of the two ring mounts are securely attached to a respective riser mount, and each riser mount is securely attached to the Picatinny rail.

7. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 wherein the fasteners include one of screws and bolts.

8. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 further comprising a slot along a length of the flat L shaped bracket to removeably attach, in various locations along the slot, the Picatinny rail to the flat L shaped bracket.

9. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 further comprising a first slot along a length of the angled L shaped bracket to removeably attach, in various locations along the slot, the angled L shape bracket to the flat L shaped bracket.

10. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 further comprising a second slot along a length of the angled L shaped bracket to removeably attach, in various locations along the second slot, a camera.

11. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 further comprising means to securely locate a lens of an attached camera coincident with a line of sight of a weapon scope.

12. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 further comprising spacers spacing the Picatinny rail from the flat L shaped bracket.

13. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 wherein a first section of the flat L shaped bracket extends in a first direction, a second section of the flat L shaped bracket extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the first direction is parallel to a line of sight, and the second direction is perpendicular to the line of sight.

14. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 wherein a first section of the angled L shaped bracket extends in a primary direction, a second section of the angled L shaped bracket extends in a secondary direction, orthogonal to the primary direction, and both the primary direction and secondary direction are perpendicular to a line of sight.

15. The weapon scope camera mount of claim 1 wherein a first section of the angled L shaped bracket extends in a primary direction, a second section of the angled L shaped bracket extends in a secondary direction, and respective slots are disposed along at least a majority of a length of both the first section and the second section.

16. A method of mounting a camera to a weapon scope with a weapon scope camera mount having a Picatinny rail, a flat shaped L bracket attached to the Picatinny rail, an angled L shaped bracket attached to the flat shaped L bracket, and a plurality of mechanical fasteners removably attaching the Picatinny rail to the flat shaped L bracket the method comprising:

attaching the camera to the angled L shape bracket.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising the steps of

passing a threaded portion of a camera screw from a first side of the angled L shaped bracket to a second side of the angled L shaped bracket; and

screwing the camera screw into a female threaded receptacle in the camera.

18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising the steps of pivoting the camera from a viewing position to a stowed position while the camera is still securely connected to the angled L shaped bracket.
