[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 900853, member: 35183"] I believe the reticle is etched into a glass element ? This is not wire reticle. How do you focus it ? I was told to point the scope at an open patch of sky, close the eye, open it for just 1 second and see how the reticle looks. Then close the eye, adjust the reticle a little, open the eye 1 second then close it again. Apparently if you look at the reticle more than briefly, the eye will try to adjust to get it in focus and that defeats the object which is to have it naturally in focus. So you have to look at the reticle against a plain background just very briefly then close the eye, wait a while and repeat. otherwise you can drive yourself nuts. I do not recommend using the illumination to focus the reticle. Focus it with natural light, then see how it looks in real hunting conditions with illumination. I find there are very few times other than night hunting that I will use illumination. [/QUOTE]
