We didn't automatically assume it to be 'faked', but there are several clues in the file which indicate the camera was not shooting through the scope but the "mask" was added later when the file was copied. It is possible the scope looked like that but I don't feel from the "evidence" that this is actual footage taken through the scope.
I took the scope section and clipped it, stretched it to put it in slow motion and using some info from almost 40 years of photograph experience, there are too many things that don't add up.
