Sighting reticles can be made in the form of two metal wires crossing each other or drawn on the glass. The reticle may be located in the middle of the device, then the image in the plane will be inverted or in the area of the eyepiece with a straight image. All reticles can be divided into hunting reticles and tactical reticles.

Hunting reticles are simpler and are primarily designed for short-range hunting. They may be in the form of crosses with complete or incomplete lines, that is to form, as a full cross, and a half cross. Nets used for corral animals, have a large angle of view, and may be classic crosshair, and with a point or circle.

Sighting nets with an additional division along the vertical line, are called ballistic. Such a division makes it easy to determine the distance to the target.

Tactical reticles are used mainly by military snipers and sportsmen. They work under a certain caliber and distance. For hunting purposes, tactical reticles can be simpler and more versatile.
