Or how about this trick? Simple black PSO-1 reticle with dim red backlighting. See attachments.

Will be attempting my first PSO-1-1 today.

Edit: Yep. PSO-1-1. It's a bit of a mess, but viable. 3.5x magnification, the 20 mrad subtensions fit exactly on a 5m fence 250m away, post-center to post-center, I checked the range finder out to 200m, it functions correctly. Red backlight isn't great, but I'll keep tweaking it, or abandon the idea and go with an illuminated chevron, maybe.

I'm having fun, and that's what's important.

Edit again: It's gonna be a red chevron. Reworked the curve and added detail to the numbers. I like it.

Similar retreatment on the PSO-1.

Last (?) Edit: Ten minutes ago, I googled that a HMMWV is 1.87m, ground to roof. The bottom of the passenger compartment is 0.41m from the ground. So underside to rooftop, the HMMWV is 1.46m. Twenty minutes ago, I confirmed that, from 100m away, in the stadiametric range finder I drew for the PSO-1-1 tailored to the height of a soldier 100m away, that that 1.46m is indistinguishable from the height of the soldier on the .50 cal. in that HMMWV.

Soldiers in BF2 are 1.33m tall. I'm going to have to remove the '1.7' from my rangefinders, if I'm going to be honest. Maybe.
