1. A viewing optic comprising:
a body having an objective lens system at one end that focuses a target image from an outward scene,
an ocular lens system at the other end of the body and a movable erector tube with an erector lens system located between the objective and ocular systems, the erector lens system, the objective lens system and the ocular lens system forming an optical system having a first focal plane with a first reticle at the first focal plane;
a beam combiner located between the first focal plane and the objective lens system; and
an active display configured for generating an image and a collector lens system configured to collect light from the active display, wherein the collector lens system is a 5 lens system having an inner lens cell with 2 lenses and an outer lens cell with 3 lenses, and a reflective material configured to direct the generated image from the active display to the beam combiner where the image from the active display and the target image from the objective lens system are combined into the first focal plane and viewed simultaneously.
