AUST Pattern 1918 Scope reticle

[AUS-JON]

Hi all

I have been scouring the internet and this forum to try and find a picture/diagram or description of what reticle is on the Pattern 1918 scope used on Australian sniper rifles.

Is it the same as the No.32 ?

The only mention I have been able to find so far is a reference to a "Grat reticle and cross wire".

Do any owners of the 1918 have any photos of the sight picture/reticle they can post?

thanks in advance.

Jon

It doesn't look as though the crosswire is square to the post - last photo. Or is it me? We had a chart to test for that in the days when we would re-string the diaphragms

I think the rifle is slightly canted over to the left in that photo; so the horizontal lines on the wall trick the eye. Look at the verticle line compared to the wall post.

I must say that those two rifles are fabulous; and probably made from pure "unobtainium" as far as my piggy bank is concerned.
