Confusingly, some older telescopic sights, mainly of German or other European manufacture, have a contradistinctive classification where the second constituent of the designation refers to 'light gathering power', therefore in these cases a 4×81 (4× magnification) perception would be presumed to have a brighter sight picture than a 2.5×70 (2.5× magnification), but the objective lens diameter would not bear any direct relation to picture brightness, as brightness is affected also by the magnification factor. Extensively objective lenses on fresh sights are smaller than modernized sights, in these examples the 4×81 would have an objective approximately 32mm diameter Rifle Scopes and the 2.5×70 might be approximately 25mm.

• Wire reticles are the oldest type of reticles and are counterfeit out of metal wire

• They are mounted in an optically appropriate position in the telescopic sight's tube
• Etched reticles are images of the desired reticle layout that are etched on an optic element.
