A passively and naturally illuminated optical reflex sighting system for a firearm in one embodiment includes a housing configured for detachable coupling to the firearm, an optical lens supported by the housing, a fiber optic element, and a light-transmissible cover enclosing the fiber optic element. The cover and fiber optic element are in visual communication with ambient light which is collected by fiber optic element through the cover. In operation, the fiber optic element absorbs ambient light and generates a reticle on the lens for aiming the firearm. A red or other colored dot reticle may be projected on the lens in some embodiments. No onboard artificial light is used to illuminate the fiber optic element. The housing may include an integrally-formed rear sight which is alignable with a front sight to aim the firearm independently of the fiber optics generated reticle.

An electronic indicator on a see-through optical scope indicates whether an optical system is canted. The visual indicator may include one or more LEDs coupled to a microprocessor that is also coupled to a solid-state electronic inclinometer incorporated into the internal structure of the optical system. The microprocessor is configured to selectively illuminate the visual indicator based on the output of the inclinometer, thereby indicating how the reticle is canted, if at all.

The invention relates to an angle mirror including a backup sight. The angle mirror includes a housing connected to a mirror head and a lower part. An objective is arranged outside of the housing and is connected to the housing by an optical connection, for example a fiber optic line, that does not require electrical power or current to transmit the image from the objective. The mirror head and the objective provide separate images to a first insight and a second insight, respectively. The objective functions as a backup or auxiliary sight of the surrounding environment even in the event of a power failure.

A protective cover for an optical sight of a firearm, with at least one transparent end wall section for protecting either a proximal opening or a distal opening of the optical sight is disclosed. In order to provide a backup sight, it is proposed for the transparent end wall section to have a permanently displayed optical reticle or a part of this reticle.
