I think that there are two meshes for the stock reticule, the reticule mesh itself and its outline.
It could be that you are seeing the outline. Try changing that mesh as well.

I don't think so. I have an simular problem. I tryed to move the health bar. but than i have two. the one i moved and the one at the stock position. There is some problem that you load the stock ingame and your custom ingame. But i haven't found out yet, how to solve it

the line in the middle and the bar at the top and bottom left are the problems that came after changing the outline.

Try ro rename your reticule and add it as a new one.

If this works you should be able to remove the stock reticule. Dor my problem it wouldn't work, but for you it should do. It's a little bit the same problem as the iron sight with floating icon fix.

add what exactly into my ingame req? And where is the stock reticule for the normal non-added ingame lvl.

Edit: got I working minus the black bars at the top and by the health bar. I looks suckishly being black so do I texture it? how do I make it transparent like the original.

Edit: new problem: I got a reticule ingame before and it looked ok but I wanted something better.
I came up with a detailed one and tried it out and here's what I got:

It looks really bad doesn't it?
