SWAROVSKI OPTIK, headquartered in Absam, Tyrol, Austria is part of the Swarovski group of companies. Founded in 1949, the Austrian company specialises in the development and manufacturing of long-range optical instruments in the premium segment of the market, including binoculars, telescopes (spotting scopes), rifle scopes, range finders and night sight devices.
The light is projected forward through the sight, and reflects off the back surface of the reticle. Red is the most common colour used, as it least impedes the shooter's natural night vision. This illumination method can be used to provide both daytime and low-light conditions reticle illumination.
The FN FAL from which the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle was derived was not designed for mounting optical sights like the SUIT. To mount the SUIT, a new top cover was designed. This had a rail welded to the top to accept the sight mount, and two tabs at the rear of the pressed sheet steel cover which butted against the back of the upper receiver, preventing the cover from sliding on its rails and ...
A SIG Sauer SSG 3000 bolt action rifle fitted with a Zeiss Victory Diavari 3-12x56 telescopic sight with Zeiss rail.. Zeiss inner rail, [1] generally simply referred to as Zeiss rail, is a ringless scope sight mounting system introduced by Zeiss in 1990 as an alternative to traditional ring mounts. [2]
The "long action" allows the rifle to be re-configured for dimensionally larger cartridges up to 3.340 inches (84.84 mm) in overall length. The M24 originally came tapped for the Leupold Ultra M3A 10×42mm fixed-power scope, which came with a circle-shaped mil-dot glass-etched reticle.
The optic has two standard reticles: both are a cross, feature a range finder out to 600 m (656 yd) for 5.56x45 and 800 m (875 yd) for 7.62x51, where they differ is in the bulletdrop design, where the one called CX5395/CX5396 uses circles to denote the range, while the other called CX5455/CX5456 uses lines and also features lines for windage.
This type of reticle is sometimes referred to as the "German Post". This obscures the target at long range and the foreground. The reticle is tritium-illuminated for low-light condition aiming. The radioactive tritium light source has to be replaced every 8–12 years, since it gradually loses its brightness due to radioactive decay. The L2A2 ...
C79 Reticle as shown in the declassified danish manual of arms HRN 111-00 for the M95 family of rifles (C7,C8 and C8IUR) The reticle of the C79 sight was designed to serve on the C9 Light Machine Gun, thus an appropriate pattern was chosen to aid the gunner in judging distance.
