Default Aiming Bonus + Scope

Have I got this right?:

* Subsequent rounds of aiming after the first provide +1 per round, to a maximum of +2.
* When using a scope, subsequent rounds of aiming after the first provie +1 per round, to a maximum of the scope's bonus.

Therefore, if using a +3 variable power scope, the first two additional rounds of aiming will each provide a total bonus of +2, while the third additional round will provide +1.

Not quite. To quote Basic, p. 364

"Add the weapon’s Accuracy (Acc) to your skill, plus any bonuses for targeting systems used: sights, targeting computers, etc."

In other words, the scope bonus begins to apply as of the first Aim maneuver. So, when aiming, you get:

turn 1: +Acc (base Aiming bonus) + 1 (from scope)
turn 2: additional +1 (extra turn aiming) + 1 (second turn with scope)
turn 3: additional +1 (extra turn aiming) + 1 (third turn with scope)
turn 4: .. nothing (would give extra +1 if you had a Scope +4 or greater)

This of course assumes a variable scope instead of a fixed scope.
