Abstract: A reflex sight for a firearm has a body, a mounting facility, a controller, an actuator, and an illumination facility operably connected to the controller and having a plurality of different operating states. The controller is responsive to sequential actuation of the actuator to cycle among the operating states. The controller is operable to change operation of the illumination facility after a selected duration based on a power consumption characteristic of the operating state.

Abstract: A riflescope that comprises a body defining an optical path with a reticle connected to the body and intervening in the optical path. The reticle includes an image formed by photoreactive material that is responsive to invisible wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation to emit visible light. The photoreactive material includes two different materials, each emitting visible light in a different wavelength.

Abstract: An illuminable reticle supporting multiple optical fibers includes an electroformed foil or wire reticle segment providing a primary aiming mark; a first optical fiber having a first end, the first optical fiber being adhered to and overlaying a lower portion of the segment to provide a first illuminable aiming point along the primary aiming mark when the first optical fiber emits light from its first end; and a second optical fiber having a second end, the second optical fiber being adhered to and overlaying a lower portion of the first optical fiber to provide a second illuminable aiming point parallel with and below the first illuminable aiming point when the second optical fiber emits light from its second end.
