Yes, I can't access YouTube from work but there are a few videos floating around that demonstrates this from actual working Revi gun sights.

The actual reticule size is fixed and as you move closer to the sight the reticule "appears" to get smaller. This is how aiming was actual done, the pilot would lean forward to aim, in some cases (Bf-109 pilots) they would rest their face against the sight when aiming, hence the padding on the sight.
