I was looking at my illuminated reticle rifle scopes and wondering why with all of the technology available nowadays why the rifle scope manufactures have'nt marketed at least one scope with variable color illuminated reticles?All that I have seen in the past is red/green and usually on cheaper made scopes.They are able to put multiple light intensity adjustments,and on the holographicsights-multiple reticles and dot sizes.So why not multiple colors?After all-LEDs come in more colors than red/green.Hey scope makers-let's see some blue,yellow,violet,orange!!!Would work well for varying light conditions in my book.Just look @ the different colored shooting glasses available!And the different colored front sight inserts!There must be something to it.:o

Are you sure that is not Magenta? I think it is Magenta. Anyway, how about chartreuse? That would be a good reticle. :lol:

:lol: That's what I've been talking about-being able to turn the selector switch on the scope to another color .:lol: ;)

Now why would you want to waste an expensive .223 round on a frog? Even if it was a gay one (not that there's anything wrong with that...)?

What makes you think Kermit was gay? Sure he was a happy little guy, but gay? Or was all that stuff about him and Miss Piggy just a smoke screen.

Why this unjustified hate towards others? What is wrong with being a Frog? It's not like they are really from France!:D

Hello fellers! New here & my first post. I see this thread has some age but I thought I'd put in my tcw. Konus has a scope with a "ULTRA BLUE" reticle. It's the M30.

Konus make complete crap. Not even worth paying the shipping on.

if I was going to guess, I'd say its because they're picking a single color that will be seen on most backgrounds/targets you would encounter.

also, illumination is more for low light issues to help pick up the crosshairs, not so much to see them any better/worse during normal conditions.

the technology is there (see fiber optic christmas trees) but I dont see a whole lot of actual demand, other than novelty, to produce something with color changing reticles.
