Abstract
A rifle scope having a longitudinal dimension and a reticle and having an adjustment mechanism for changing the apparent reticle position seen through the scope, relative to a straight line extending along the longitudinal dimension of the scope. The scope includes an objective assembly defining an objective center line extending from the center of the assembly front to the center of the assembly back. Also, a housing includes an outer objective housing, and a tubular housing. An optical train is supported inside the tubular housing defining a train center line extending longitudinally through the center of the optical train. The objective assembly is mounted in the outer objective housing so as to have freedom to be repositioned, thereby changing the position of the assembly center line relative to the train center line and an actuation mechanism is adapted to reposition the objective assembly, in response to manipulation of the actuator.
