Glyn, I have one too, which I bought in 1978. At the front end you should find a clear acrylic rod, cut at an angle, held by a small grub screw, this has the reticle on it, (if you take it out you will see). You can use them with one, or both eyes open, like the old singlepoint sights.
Quite good for close range snapshots and ratting. At the time, I read an article in AGW where they suggested taking a pin to the reticle to 'improve' it, I of course did this, and it has been back in its box ever since

Keep both eyes open when aiming; it’s a bit of a tricky holographic illusion,
I have one of these sights and can get a sight picture but it’s not a fast target acquisition system , good fun but more of a collector’s item.

late 70s bsa reflex sight ,does anyone have one of these little marvels
they would be willing to sell me ?

I've always liked the look of those old BSA reflex sights; wasn't the aiming dot white on them? If so, is there any way you can change the colour to red?

Also, if anyone has a singlepoint SP220 (with the cone shaped front cover, rather than the semi-spherical one) they dont want, I'm looking for one...!
