ABSTRACT:
A weapon sight has an optical system that causes first radiation to propagate along a path of travel within the sight, and has a reticle generating portion that causes second radiation representing a reticle to propagate along the path of travel with the first radiation. The reticle generating portion includes a reticle illuminating portion that illuminates the reticle, and the reticle illuminating portion includes a light source and a lens portion. Light from the light source passes through the lens portion, and then illuminates the reticle.
