Abstract:
An optical sight system with a wide range of shooting distances comprising:a hollow housing having a proximal end and a distal end; an optical telescopic sight located in said hollow housing and having an objective lens assembly at said distal end and an eyepiece lens assembly at said proximal end, said optical telescopic sight having an optical axis which is common for said objective lens assembly and said eyepiece lens assembly; and a reticle sight with an illuminated reticle attached to said housing and located on an optical axis different from said common optical axis, said reticle sight further comprising a light source, said illuminated reticle being illuminated by a light beam emitted from said light source, said hollow housing having a first hollow radial projection on said distal end and a second hollow radial projection between said distal end and said proximal end, said first hollow radial projection accommodating said illuminated reticle, and said second radial projection accommodating said light source.
