Radioactive isotopes can also be used as a fluorescent source, to provide an illuminated reticule for low-light condition aiming. In sights like the SUSAT or Elcan C79 tritium-illuminated reticles are given over for low-light reputation aiming. Trijicon Corporation uses tritium in their jackpot and hunting-grade six-shooter optics, including the ACOG. The (radioactive) tritium light source deadbeat to be replaced Rifle Scopes every 8-12 years, since it gradually loses its brightness due to radioactive decay.

Most telescopic sights lack parallax compensation because they can perform model acceptably without this refinement
- Telescopic sights manufacturers adjust these scopes at a lapse that best suits their intended usage
- Emblematic standard factory parallax adjustment distances for hunting telescopic sights are 100 yd or 100 m to make them out of its element for hunting run the show that rarely exceed 300 yd/m.
