Bushnell's "Command Post". Always seemed an interesting idea - crosshairs for taking a fine aim (assuming enough light and time) and a post for speed and poor light. It never really seemed to catch on, probably because something like a German Nr 4 or Duplex can do the same job or perhaps a better one, without the additional complexity and potential for failure.

The version I tried of this had a little lever rather than a ring to lift the post into place. IIRC the system used a magnet to actuate the post.
