I got 4x mag. on the M4 in auto, 6x for semi, I drew a whole new Elcan reticle for the 6x. mag., and tried something slightly different for the red dot illumination.

I haven't playtested this beyond confirming POA/POI fidelity, but I'm optimistic.

Edit: I had the thin lines a little transparent to imply fineness, but it just made seeing the lines difficult on patchy backgrounds, so I reverted them to pure, opaque black. The red dots also felt oversized, so instead of just a 3px and 5px red dot, I mathed up some new 2 moa red dots that feel about right, even though the 4x red dot fades badly on a pure dark background in the NVGs. I'm not gonna sweat that, though.

Edit through gritted teeth: Operator Drewski video, he looted a nice M4 and the scope has an Elcan-like rangefinder that says "30 in. / 76cm," and I'm like, Wait. isn't 30 in. 70cm?, so 30 รท 39.3701 = 0.7619995.

76.2cm. Damn it. Further edits pending.

Edit after lunch: Alright. Screenshots of the 76cm problem, the Elcan edit, and the new SAW 'LeoTec.'
