Does it have non illuninated cross hairs when the battery is not on?

Yes. The reticle is normally black and easily visible in daylight with the illumination dial at 0 (OFF). This is true at all magnifications, contrary to some comments. Since the reticle is on the first focal plane, it increases in size as the magnification increases. This means the bullet drop is correct for all magnifications; it also means the reticle looks more like a dot at 1X. When you turn the illumination dial to 1 - 11, it glows an increasingly bright red. 11 is quite bright -- useful for making the reticle stand out against a bright background, but too bright for night. Store it with the reticle illumination off (0). When hunting, or in competition or self defense situation, set it to as much illumination as you need. Bright makes it stand out quickly, but too much glow makes it less precise. I think it works very well.

Sure does...the reticle is black and crisp until you select the illumination setting with the knob on the left hand side of the scope.

It is very usable without batteries in daylight.Go to the Bushnell web site to see what the " cross hairs" look like.

Mine did, but be sure to turn it off when not in use or the battery doesn't last long.

Mine does that sometimes, but only when the battery is VERY low. Recharging it overnight cures it for me.

No! not the one I have and I have never found it to be an issue, the battery works great

No. This has never happened to me. After two years of nightly use I do not use it as often. A miracle!

NO!!! it can drag behind or I tucked it in the Battery area and it still works great

No it doesn't. I wish it did since I often find the battery is dead when I go and use it. :-(

Yes! :) I never use mine when it is plugged in. I might also add that I am not pleased with the product. I have baby fine hair and it does not do a very good job. I have to go over and over the same area to get the hair to be shortened. After I use the buffing pad there is some improvement, but the hair is never fully gone. I have been using mine for 6 mths now.

At the moment, there is not which is disappointing since it may be a cause of not only draining the battery slowly but also a little annoying when using it at night and day. I will look into this more and report back to you when I find a solution, well if I do.

Yes it does. I unplug mine when I don't use it and it is always back where it was.

No mine does not. I have noticed that when the batter is getting low it does have a barely audible chirp that took me some time to figure out.

No it does not I've noticed recently! It's also very short and barely makes it out of the arm rest in my Murano where it plugs in.

You should. The black cross hairs are not battery dependent. I would be very surprised if the answer was other wise.

I've noticed that as well. But I only notice it when the batteries are getting low.

Sometimes when the batteries are low, it will act up. But; other than that I don't have any problem s with mine. It works well thus far.

No, but I believe it is the reason the base swivels. The weight of the battery makes it awkward to rotate the whole trimmer.

It Doesnt. You will need to unplug it or else your battery will drain just like mine.
