What is the thing called where you scope in with a gun, but everything outside the scope stays the same?

In most FPS games when you scope in, everything surrounding you also zooms in. I'm trying to find a game that scopes in for the scope, but everything is still left unzoomed. Anyone know what this is called?

That's self-explanatory and there's a range of terminology for that.

I have no clue what you meant by 'games that scope in for the scope'.

Sorry wasn't thinking what I was typing. Anyway i found the answer, it's called PiP scoping, which is Picture in Picture.
