Abstract
A reticle illuminator for a reflex sight having a light gathering rod mounted in a housing which in turn is mounted on the sight barrel or housing. The rod is exposed to ambient light and emits fluorescent light to illuminate the reticle. A magnifying lens is focussed on the rod to intensify the brightness of the ambient light which strikes the rod. The rod housing has a number of component parts for easy assembly and disassembly.
