Abstract
The invention relates to a telescopic sight with an objective to face a target object to be observed in a working position, an eyepiece to face an observer, a visual observation beam path, an inner tube with an inversion system, means for adjusting the direction of the sight line of the telescopic sight, a rangefinder and with a scope housing, in which are integrated the rangefinder, which has a transmitter for emitting a measurement beam and a receiver for receiving the reflected measurement beam, and arranged in the region of the observation beam path a beam splitter element, which couples the emitted measurement beam into the part of the observation beam path extending toward the objective and/or decouples the received reflected measurement beam from the part of the observation beam path extending toward the objective. The transmitter of the rangefinder, the receiver of the rangefinder and the beam splitter element are fixed in an immovable fashion with respect to each other and to the inner tube of the telescopic sight such that they are also movable by the means of the telescopic sight for adjusting the direction of the sight line.
