The best rifle / scope combo to clearly demonstrate Peters cup on a table cloth analogy is perhaps the Winchester A5 / S.M.L.E or indeed the Springfield / Unertl arrangement. You'll hear people talking about how "after each shot you have to pull the scope back into battery as it moves forward because of the recoil". What is happening in reality is that when the trigger is pulled and the rifle recoils the scope effectively stays stationary and the rifle recoils under it giving the appearance that the scope has moved forward.
