How is this scope in low light conditions (dawn/dusk)? I have now a red/green dot scope that is tinted slightly which makes it hard at low light cond

I just finished 8 days of crossbow hunting in Pennsylvania and found the best setting in low light conditions was where the setting is neither the red or blue. Just the black, or off position. The scope still gathers the ambient light and the reticle is very clear. I am very satisfied with the scope and performed up to my expectations. Bob

There are good reviews of this scope using it deer hunting, I have only used it on small game, and it works great. Good and clear and plenty of light at dusk. keeps zero

Hi Frank, I purchased this scope about 6 months ago and have had great luck with it. I dont care for the red and green back lights and shoot it with no lighting. As far as it changing when zooming mine doesn't do that. I would say you might have received a defective one since the reticle is separate from the lens and sounds as if it might be moving slightly when you zoom. Amazon is great about replacing items, shoot them an email.

I'm not really sure... but the red dot that in the scope is perfect and it shows up in the day time very well. Love the scope!

I don't have any glare issues with it. It can get washed out a bit outside, but its still visible. The big problem with the design is that if you accidentally bump it (or put the rifle its on in a bag) it will lose sighting. I find myself re-sighting everytime I use it. I got some MBUS sights and then I quickly re-sight it off them.

The image at 1000x is dark and fuzzy. It does go that far but image quality is not that great, but for me, as a mere hobby, it is acceptable. It works best at the lower magnifications. It is still a very good scope for the money.

Yes, the etched dot reticle is easily seen in daylight. The firm brightness dail is set from "Off -10. I found that the red dot is easily visible in bright sun once the dail goes above "5". It actuallt flares at the "10" setting in daylight. Im still impressed with this optic.

Yes.the why I see it is,this is a crosshairs first,red dot second optic for me,although both work flawlessly,I mainly purchased this scope to use the crosshairs and really only use the dot in lowlight situations.FYI,the dot is quite bright in daylight hours.

Its actually not bad. I sighted in at 25yds and at 50yds. At 50 it was a little faint but you could definitely see it.. make sure you're not using a bright white paper to sight though as it will wash out. I really wasnt even expecting that for the price. It's worth the 12 bucks.

I really like this scope on my .177 Marauder ....does a good job......be careful turning off the red and green......if not your battery will only last several days....

It's a nice durable scope. I've read some people's reviews using it on their .308's and their .30-06's. I've got mine on just a .223 and the only problem I ran into was the scope mounts it came with. I had a hard time getting the fine tuning I wanted at 100yd. The mounts it comes with are see through. Two people besides myself tried to sight it in as well. With my previous scope using Winchester sliver tip ballistics I could group 3 shots the size of a dime. With this scope on none of us could get it that well dialed in. We all felt it was the mounts causing the issue. I've put new mounts on but sadly haven't been back out to try again. It's defiantly nice for the price with great zoom and view.

There is a reticle like a normal scope. It just has the option to illuminate it in darker conditions

That is the brightness level of the illuminated scope, red or green. I have 5 crossbows for my sons and I, I have this scope on each crossbow, I believe in looking threw the same scope every time. This scope has taken many deer in low light conditions.

Mine is a little foggy above 10 power. But it is an very good scope for the money. I think the people that give it bad reviews are expecting to much for this price range.

"Useable yes, easy no" is my experience. If the sunlight is really bright, it is hard to see the red dot. Not a problem if you are doing simple distance measurements, but triangulation did not work well for me. It's great on a moonlit night!

It has illuminated crosses. And they are fabulous in low light!!!!! Cannot over sell this scope. Buy it. Took a 9 pointer at fifty yards with my Excalibur 5 minutes before legal light ended this year. Took 4 does in low light this season, too. Not like a lot of phony, cheap illuminated that light up in daylight. These just show up when you need it- low light conditions.

For me this is the thing I liked least about the scope-- the light is VERY hot. My slides dry out very quickly. I am going to try to change it out for a cooler LED if possible. Hope this helps. Dr. Carol Mahon
