I have a Bushnell Elite Firefly 3200 2-6x32 scope mounted on an Encore pistol. At the range, a guy asked to look at it and said the reticle on other Bushnell Elite Firefly scopes he had seen did not look like mine. Here is a picture of the scope on the Encore (sitting in a wooden cradle).
When I first got the scope, it seemed odd that the outsides of the reticle were so thick - about 6 times the thickness of the center of the reticle. These outside wide parts are the only parts that glow when charged by a flashlight. The thinner, normal-reticle-sized parts do not glow. But I just thought that's the way all Firefly scopes are.
Although you can't see it very clearly in my picture, there are actually two 'steps' in the thick part of the reticle. It starts out very wide (maybe 3/16th inch), then narrows down to about 1/8th inch, then goes to a normal-reticle-sized crosshair.
That's my question: Is this right? Are the reticles on all Firefly scopes this thick on the ends?
If you look at some of the Bushnell Firefly ads, they show one thin reticle all the way across.
