Here, but occasionally There.
In an article I read about this, it was mentioned that someone was able to see aberrations around the scope but not around the rifle. That may be why the article said more about it being photoshopped.

Edit: Found the article that I read.

Outkick.com - Navy Rifle Photo Photoshopped Speculation

""I can tell you that the scope was added to the recent US Navy photo after the photo was taken. If you look at the photo knowing that, it becomes obvious: the shadows are inconsistent and there are photo-editing traces around the scope. It remains embarrassing, of course, but that does explain how the issue happened. The Navy probably doesn't want to admit that they doctored the photo, since that, too, is worthy of criticism and opens up more questions about other photos," the photo expert told me."
