I had a custom dot installed on a scope about 40 years ago. Does anyone remember anyone that afford this service that long ago?

I read about it, but never knew anyone that rich. I missed you in Carrington today.

What kind of dot was this ? Dad had one installed on a scope in mid 90’s due to macular degeneration.

"Lee" dot. T.K. Lee. Pretty sure they're dead / out of business now, but there are custom reticles available, but pricey.
