Abstract

A cover for use with an optic device to hold and display shooting information. The cover may have resilient retention members that allow a display to be releasably attached and detached from the cover. The display may be made from a single substrate or multiple substrates in order to make the shooting information contained thereon highly visible in a variety of conditions and shooting preferences.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sighting device with a cover having a display comprising: a first substrate having a first color; a second substrate having a second color different than the first color and fixed to the first substrate to form the display; and wherein the first substrate is engraved with data and the second substrate is exposed through the engraved first substrate; and wherein the display is retained by the cover.

2. The sighting device of claim 1 , wherein the display further comprises a third substrate with a third color different than the second color, wherein the second substrate has a first side and a second side and the first substrate is fixed to the first side of the second substrate and the third substrate is fixed to the second side of the second substrate and wherein the third substrate is engraved such that the second substrate is exposed through the engraved third substrate.

3. The sighting device of claim 1 , wherein the display is round in shape and has a perimeter with indentations formed therein.

4. The sighting device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second substrate are of a material such that the shape and the first and second colors remain substantially the same when exposed to moisture, ultraviolet light and temperatures in the range of −20° F. to 120° F.

5. The sighting device of claim 1 , wherein the display has a perimeter that can be used to remove the display from the cover.
