3. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

   Normally these impact shifts are insignificant, but accuracy-oriented users, who wish to use their telescopic sight trouble-free at several magnification levels, often opt for FFP reticles. Around the year 2005 Zeiss [ 27 ] was the first high-end European telescopic sight manufacturer who brought out variable magnification military grade ...

4. Reticle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticle

   Diagram of three types of reflector sights that produce collimated reticles. The top uses a collimating lens (CL) and a beam splitter (B) to create a virtual image at infinity (V) of a reticle (R). The bottom two use half silvered curved mirrors (CM) as the collimating optics with the reticle off-set or between the mirror and the observer.

5. f-number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

   The f-number N is given by: = where f is the focal length, and D is the diameter of the entrance pupil (effective aperture).It is customary to write f-numbers preceded by "f /", which forms a mathematical expression of the entrance pupil's diameter in terms of f and N. [1]

6. Milliradian - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliradian

   A milliradian (SI-symbol mrad, sometimes also abbreviated mil) is an SI derived unit for angular measurement which is defined as a thousandth of a radian (0.001 radian). ). Milliradians are used in adjustment of firearm sights by adjusting the angle of the sight compared to the barrel (up, down, left, or

7. Stadiametric rangefinding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadiametric_rangefinding

   By using a reticle with marks of a known angular spacing, the principle of similar triangles can be used to find either the distance to objects of known size or the size of objects at a known distance. In either case, the known parameter is used, in conjunction with the angular measurement, to derive the length of the other side.
