can this scope be used in the daytime without a battery?

Yes it can, it has a black reticle that surprisingly wasn't as thick as some of the others I have seen that illuminate. I have this scope on my DPMS LR-308 and never even use the red/green illumination.

Yes it can. This is not like a red dot/holographic sight. There are normal crosshairs that have the ability to be illuminated.

Yes, you can see them without illumination. I find it to be a decent scope for a decent price.

If it has the option of an illuminated reticle( which mine does) it will take batteries. I actually dont know which kind. I havent had to change them in the entire 2 years i had it. But i never really use the illuminated function. I can tell you the batteries are the small disk shaped kind. And they go right in the first top turret thats closest to your eye. Sorry i cant be much help. Also the optic came with the batteries.

If there is light or white sheet behind the target, yes. But if dirt behind target, then only sometimes. If you intend this for highpower, be aware you cannot rotate this scope, the mounting point is fixed.

Mine is not adjustable , but stays centered. i remove the batteries when I'm not using it. I can't imagine trying to bore sight in day light I always do it in a garage or in the house. I've never seen a bore sighter that will compete with the sun.

Jordean, I never used the sight outdoors in sunlight. It works fine at the indoor range. It has 4 brightness settings. It's no EOTech, but at this price point it will do.

No its not but I wouldn't have a problem with it at daylight or late afternoon its very clear like all of the rest of Leupold scopes

That's a good question that's a little difficult for me to answer, but I think I can do well enough. I've left mine on overnight, and it still had plenty of power the next day. I mostly shoot outdoors, in daylight. The black cross hairs work all of the time, so I don't use the illumination that often. You can't tell much difference. Indoors, and at night, I'll turn on the illumination just because it looks cool when I'm just messing around. I'm on my second battery since I bought the scope, and I've probably left it on overnight four times. I found the batteries online for about a buck a piece, and bought ten. I can't really give you a "runtime" on this. I would just say, unless you do a lot of shooting in low light, it should last for months.

No, the laser is not easily seen in sunlight. I would not advise buying this instrument with outside use in mind

Since the scope has a battery powered red dot the motion sensor technology turns off the light if no motion is detected. A great way to prevent you putting away the rifle with the scope left turned on.

Generally I would day no. It is possible that under some conditions (deep shadow) it would work outside- but overall daylight (sunlight)will degradate the laser beam.

Works fine without power. If your sky isn't really dark you can see the black double crosshairs.

It is not real bright in daylight, especially sun. So I would not try it at an outdoor range at any distance. For rifles, it is best to use dim light conditions like dawn and dusk and I have used it on a rifle at about 30 yards to get the scope onto the bore. You will still need to fine tune the scope at a range but you will waste a lot less ammo. For the handgun, I have used it in daylight at about 50 feet and it was easily visible. I used it to align a clip on laser with the bore. And range testing verified that it worked well.

It has to have batteries to run. I had this problem at the range, i turned the on switch and nothing happened......luckily I had extra batteries in my magpul stock so I popped them in and back on target in no time. This is a fantastic red dot sight for the money....its waterproof and the reticles stand out even in direct sunlight. If you want reticles that work without batteries the Trijicon ACOG might be an option however they are over a $1000.00. Good luck I hope this helps.

I have not used this scope indoors, but I have been pleased with it for outdoor use, with and without the glasses I wear.

This is a NIGHT VISION scope, and it is meant for NIGHT use. It WILL damage it if used when it's lens cover is open in ANY bright light. The lens cover does have a small hole in it which allows you to see through it under ordinary lighting, BUT it is not very clear when used that way, and if it (even) accidentally opened in bright daylight it would probably destroy the scope. The scope is not really meant for daytime usage, and I wouldn't plan on using it at all in daylight.
