Abstract: Rifle scope turrets with spiral cam mechanisms include a scope body, a movable optical element defining an optical axis enclosed by the scope body, and a turret having a screw operably connected to the optical element for adjusting the optical axis in response to rotation of the screw. The turret has a spiral cam mechanism engaged thereto. The turret defines first and second stop surfaces positioned for engagement by the spiral cam to limit rotation of the turn The first stop surface defines a zero position of the screw and the movable optical element. The second stop surface defines a maximum point of displacement of the screw and the moveable optical element. The stop surfaces may be defined by a spiral cam groove in the indexing portion of the turret. The groove may overlap itself at least partially. The turret may be an elevation turret or a windage turret.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to viewing optics, and in particular, a reticle system for a viewing optic. A reticle system having a fiber optic reticle coupled to a transparent substrate reticle in either the first or second focal plane is disclosed. The reticle system disclosed herein is visible in bright daylight and also has the desired floating features in the field of view, including numbers and other markings.

Abstract: An optic device turret for adjusting the optical element of the optic device. A spiral cam mechanism is engaged with the turret to define a maximum and minimum adjustment of the optical element. A rotation indicator displays the amount a knob has been rotated.

Abstract: A dual focal plane optical sighting device, such as a riflescope, having two focal planes, with a first reticle at the first focal plane, and a second reticle at the second focal plane. The reticle at the first focal plane is a glass etched reticle; the reticle at the second focal plane is a wire reticle. The two reticles have different patterns or markings providing the appearance of a single reticle or complementary markings when viewed through the optical sighting device.

Abstract: An optic device turret for adjusting the optical element of the optic device with at least two knobs that are each movable between a first position wherein the knob is not rotatable and a second position wherein the knob can be rotated. The access to and rotation of both knobs can be accomplished without the use of tools. The rotation of each knob adjusts the optical element. A spiral cam mechanism is engaged with the turret to define a maximum and minimum adjustment of the optical element. A rotation indicator displays the amount a knob has been rotated.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a viewing optic. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a display system for a viewing optic. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a viewing optic having a display system with multiple active displays for generating images that are projected into a first focal plane of an optical system.
