My Schmidt & Bender P4L2BE special on the M4 at 3.5x zoom.

Edit: I'm going with a light green crosshair. Just seems to work more clearly than red.

Edit again: Been doing a lot of experiments with the crosshair color on this .dds. Some notes:
- A red crosshair needs a little white added (RGB 255, 128, 128 seems best) to get it to glow correctly on brighter backgrounds. Then it needs a bit of red bordering to keep it from just being pink.
- A blue crosshair does not show up at all unless the background is dark or mostly blue, then it's still barely there.
- Green pops like a firecracker! Even down to RGB 0, 64, 0. Single lines, unbordered, razor sharp.

Now, I understand the human retina has twice as many green receptors as red or blue, and that may explain this, or possibly some other node blend effect works better with red and blue and I've yet to find it, but that green reticle is magnitudes easier to see and use in this game, and I wonder what's up with that?
