12. A viewing optic comprising:
a body having an ocular lens system and an objective lens system that focuses a target image from an outward scene to a first focal plane having a first reticle, an erector lens system, wherein the first focal plane is located between the objective lens system and erector lens system, a beam combiner located between the objective lens system and the first focal plane, and a turret for adjustment of the erector lens system; and
a base coupled to a bottom portion of the body and having an active display configured to generate an image, a collector lens system configured to collect light from the active display, and a reflective material configured to direct the generated image from the active display to the beam combiner, wherein the generated image and the target image are viewed in the first focal plane; and further wherein the generated image is unaffected by adjustment of the turret.
