[QUOTE="shiples0861, post: 1675130, member: 110213"] I know this has been a question from a lot of you on how the Dichrotech reticles look in real life, so.....Here are some pics I took through a MeoStar R1 3-12x56 with a #4 reticle. Depending on the reticle, different parts of it illuminate. You can refer to the reticle chart I posted a page or so back to see how each reticle uses Dichrotech. - 1st pic is in my basement no lights on looking toward a window (best I could recreate a low light scenario) - 2nd pic is inside my house no lights on looking through back door. - 3rd and 4th pics are outside in direct sunlight. (barn in last pic is about 100 yards away on 3x power for reference) **Note that the thick Dicrotech lines are actually transparent, so you will never fully obscure the target. The reticle changes depending on background color and the ambient light coming through the scope. Generally speaking, the reticle is red the brighter the light and the lighter the background. The less light or darker background it turns a greenish white color. However, it is possible that the reticle can be both colors in certain scenarios. This isn't perfect, but best I could do with my iphone. As a side note, this technology is patented by Meopta and was originally developed for the US Army, who wanted an "illuminated" reticle without battery power on their TOW missile launchers.
