This is part 2 of the reticle picture collection thread. The first one is at: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=264481. All the pictures from that thread have been uploaded to an Arfcom server and grouped here: http://ammo.ar15.com/project/OpticsReticles/ReticlePictures.htm. That link is also in the Important Links/FAQ tacked at the top of the forum.

IF YOU HAVE A RETICLE THAT HASN'T BEEN POSTED, OR IF YOU HAVE A BETTER PIC THAN WHAT I HAVE, POST AWAY.
I will eventually grab all the pics from this thread and add them to the archive. Thanks for helping out.

do we not know what a red dot looks like? Aimpoints?

Yup - you're right about that, actually. Since I already uploaded them, I'll leave them up there. More pictures of "plain jane" red dots will be omitted though. Thanks for reminding me.

I know w have all seen EO Tech recticle pics, and there are even a few on here, but I am posting them as a demostration of paralax, or rather, being paralax free.

First pic is of my high-tech optic mounting system for this demonstration (i.e. sitting on a jar and shimmed for angle)

Next, a view of the target area. For this test, I will aim at the center of my deadbolt through the center of the optic window:

See?:

Now, without touching the optic or mount, I moved my head and camera to get pics from different angles, looking at the target through different parts of the the window. Top left corner:

...and bottom right corner:

There. That should a be a decent demonstration. Have a good day.

Figured I'd take some pics of my Leupold CQT. They are quite rare, and guys having nice camera equiptment and a CQT is not as common so what the heck

Got pics of it non illuminated at 1x and 3x, and illuminated at 1x and 3x.

1x with no illumination:

1x with illumination:

3x with no illumination:

3x with illumination:

I'll try and get some reticle pics taken at a better range, this is at about 2 yards or so, or right inside a room.

Here are various recticle pictures of a Trijicon TR-22 in the open on a sunny day with fiber optics a little over half covered. 2.5-10x in 1x incriments after 3x.

Target reference ( apple tree in the middle):

2.5x:

3x:

4x:

5x:

6x:

7x:

8x:

9x:

10x:

10x full fiber optic illumination:

Zhukov,

I could crop these if you want so you jsut see the FOV through the scope it would give a little better definition to the reticle as well. Or maybe just one

Let me know,

Ian

Night vision reticles anyone?

Various Reticles through the PVS-22 at 100 yards.

Night Force scope at 5.5x power looking through PVS-22. Visible spots are from my dumb ass not cleaning it thoroughly before taking the picture.

2 different ACOG's with and without “DA TORCH” DEDICATED LONG RANGE INFRARED ILLUMINATOR all looking through the PVS-22.
