DUDE I FUCKING OWN THEM. Give up. I know webs were used but hair was too. As well as wire.
True "wire " is now used and can be had as fine a .00015.
New techniques with glass now allow the reticules to be laser etched to less than the spidersilk or wire. Because it is directly on the glass, it is not subject to temperature change (as wire is) nor to being dislodged a the silk and other substitutes were on ocassion.

Just re-read your posts and realise that you need to apologise tBM. He was just adding to what you said and you've taken it the complete wrong way.

I forgot to ask. How many of the ones you own use "hair"?
If they are not from the 1800's I doubt that any do. the first accredited telescopic gun sight was made about 1848 by a man named James from Utica, New York.
And Subjective is right.

I've found beer to be quite effective with cross hair. And drinking in the shower is a bonus.
