An illuminated sighting device includes a capsule with an integrally
formed lens that is adapted to face rearwardly for viewing by a user. An
elongate light collector is positioned within the hollow interior of the
capsule and is formed such that light can be gathered along its length
and transmitted to its ends. One of the light collector ends is located
adjacent to the first lens and defines a sight point or dot. An
artificial light source is located within the capsule hollow interior and
is oriented for projecting radiant energy into the second light collector
end so that the sight point is viewable during dark or low light
conditions.
