reticle
A reticle, or reticule (from Latin reticulum, meaning 'net'), also known as a graticule (from Latin craticula, meaning 'gridiron'), is a net of fine lines or fibers in the eyepiece of a sighting device, such as a telescope, a telescopic sight, a microscope, or the screen of an oscilloscope. Today, engraved lines or embedded fibers may be replaced by a computer-generated image superimposed on a screen or eyepiece. Both terms may be used to describe any set of lines used for optical measurement, but in modern use reticle is most commonly used for gunsights and such, while graticule is more widely used for the covers of oscilloscopes and similar roles.
There are many variations of reticles; this article concerns itself mainly with a simple reticle: crosshairs. Crosshairs are most commonly represented as intersecting lines in the shape of a cross, "+", though many variations exist, including dots, posts, circles, scales, chevrons, or a combination of these. Most commonly associated with telescopic sights for aiming firearms, crosshairs are also common in optical instruments used for astronomy and surveying, and are also popular in graphical user interfaces as a precision pointer. The reticle is said to have been invented by Robert Hooke, and dates to the 17th century. Another candidate as inventor is the amateur astronomer William Gascoigne, who predated Hooke.

I bought an fairly inexpensive scope from Primary Arms. Looks pretty good but is somewhat heavy. The optics are really clear and since I wear glasses the eye relive is quite good. I have a laser bore sight that I can use to at least to do preliminary setup the optics and then shoot it and make...
**** SOLD ****
I purchased this scope not too long ago for my .375 Raptor. The higher magnification was great for load development but just too much scope for the chambering and what I'm going to use the rifle for. So I purchased a lower power optic. So this one is for sale.
Super clean...
