I have an old bushnell banner II scope that has a single tapered post on bottom that meets up with a single crosswire, and I've grown rather fond of it. I want another one for a different rifle but don't know if any scope makers are still using this type of reticle.
Does anyone still make "post & crosswire" reticles?

I believe you are referring to German no3 type reticle pattern. Like the ones linked below.
Nightforce offers several variations

Leupold offers similar styling with only a thin top or 12 o'clock post, commonly referred to as a no4 German reticle.

My favourite reticle, not much available in current production and that only in more expensive makes that offer some custom options. The German No.4 is more common now and I settle for that when I can get it.
Old steel Weavers made in the U.S. stand up well as used scopes and I've had good luck finding a few with the post and cross hair, usually in the 2.5x power but they also used it sometimes in the K4.

I've a vintage Kahles 2.3 X 7 with that style.
Very cool but the cross hairs and post are painted on! Not so bad at 2.3 but pretty thick at 7 power, LOL.
I'll be checking back on this post because I'm with the OP; a definite favorite style.

Yup, after a bit of googling thats the one! Thanks guy, now I need to find me another one! Turns out the one I have looks just like the scopechief only it's a banner, 1.5-4.5x and it's made in japan. I bought it still in the box from a guy at work for $20! Perfect scope for my Papoose, super frigging clear, holds zero and is very repeatable, and best of all it fits in the case when the gun is taken down!
Here is a better view of my 3x ScopeChief, it has that reticle.
Super... just super. Found an excellent condition vintage 3-9 x 40 scope chief a few minuites ago from my WTB ad in the EE! My marlin 60ss is getting all dressed up this weekend baby! It's going to look awesome next to the papoose wearing the little sister scope.
