First, assume you already know your relative value for RAP and crit rating. How much RAP do you effectively get from a 12dmg scope? I'll only look at one scenario: a steady shot and auto shot every 2.3 sec (yes, I know you can fit an arcane/multi instead of a single steady, or other variants).

"damage" below is before crit, of course.

dps added per real RAP = 1dps/14rap+((.2 dmg/2.3 sec)/rap)) = .158 dps/rap
dps added from 12dmg scope = (12dmg/2.3sec) = 5.2dps = (.158dps/rap)*[33rap]

That is, you can value the scope like 33rap.

Except at retard-gear values of weapon dps and rap, 28 crit is at least as good as 37rap (i.e. better than 33rap). So the crit scope wins, barely (not considering GFTT or other crit based effects). Crit looks even better as you increase your rap and ranged weapon dps. On the other hand, very fast (BM) hunters should probably value the two premier scopes about equally for now.

The accurascope is, of course, better than both if you somehow can use all that hit rating. I can't.
