Can the NV be turned off so the reticle can be used during the day?

They say not to do this at all. There is a pinhole on the front flip down cap that allows you to view the target for sighting purposes, but even then they recommend that it is a cloudy day.

No you cant, that's what the lens cover is for with the little pin whole in it .....you can turn off the cross hairs and still use the unit but not the other way around . if the unit is off , you cant even see through it . The unit is not like a regular scope ...do a little research on night vision with Google and you will see what i am talking about ..

No. You can't turn the reticle off. However you can close the lens cap which limits the light making it possible to use during daylight

No! because the scope has a chemical inside that will degrade if to much light hits it.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. My concern was that in bright daylight I would not be able to pick up the front sight once painted. I have a tritium insert so I have no problem under dark conditions or even at night.

Yes, The IR is daylight visible. I have had mine on in the bright daylight and I get a decent RD, but the good thing about this is that it already has a black dot reticle so that really don't need your IR for bright days. Thats what I really like about the Mueller Speed shot. If your battery goes out for what ever reason you still have the ability to get on target, so this essentially is your back up. I did put mine on a QD mount and I do have BUIS just in case the optic is damaged I can still shot with out it. I hope this helps.

There's a grey rubber membrane built into the left side turret (battery compartment) that's used to control the dot. With the dot turned off, pressing down on the button (ie: the membrane, as the actual switch is inside the scope, under the battery) once will turn the dot on at the last used brightness level. Tapping the button repeatedly will cycle through the various brightness levels (High to low, then low to high before repeating), with the dot flashing when you hit the maximum and minimum brightness settings. Holding the same button down for about 4 seconds will turn the dot off. Side note - As of this post, the image on the main product page for this scope is not for the correct model, but the thumbnail shown from a search of Amazon is correct.

Yes you can turn this on and off manually if you do not want to use the option to turn on for a certain number of hours at dusk.

the reticle is visible without the illumination on. it is black with it off.

Hi Idrow, if you are pertaining to the AF illuminator, yes there is an option to turn it of by going to: MENU - (Settings) - (Shooting Settings) - [AF Illuminator] - OFF. Hope this helps. -Ely

Red does not effect night vision though i dont think the reticle in any color is enough to be a problem though i have seen people put tape over the fiber optic to dim the reticle. Its more a personal preference i think

Yes. The reticle is on at all times, even when there is no battery in. The battery only opporates the illuminated reticle (it turns red or green). This scope is really nice and is highly recommended.

I would say no but not trying it with NV I can't be 100% sure. Take a eotech if you have the reticle on and you push NV mode the reticle can't be seen by a naked eye. Well this scope does not have that feature

Yes, reticle works fine and crosshairs easily visible in daytime without being powered on

I am not sure but this one has both red & green dot retical. I like this option for both day and night. Hope this helps you.

Yes. The reticle is present through the lens and would usually need to be "illuminated" (switch on the side) in low light situations. With a dead battery you wouldn't be able to use the lens in low light situations effectively, but in daytime, the reticle is the same as any non-illuminated scope.

Yes it can, but you will have to power up the scope and reticule cross hair, it will not be pristine clear like a conventional scope, but I have sighted in and shot in full daylight with the cover over the lens. The trick I have found is when to pull off the cover, I normally wait until you would not be able to read a book, I then open the lens cap. One has to remember this scope has no over exposure protection, so the lens cap MUST be on when in daylight or you will damage the intensifier tube. The Armasight 2+ Gen scope does have over exposure protection and what I think is a great idea, flip up open sights, if you can afford it Yes it can, but you will have to power up the scope and reticule cross hair, it will not be pristine clear like a conventional scope, but I have sighted in and shot in full daylight with the cover over the lens.

No, it's set to shut off during the day, other than that unscrewing the battery housing is the only way i believe.

You cannot use this scope in the daytime as it will be damaged. You are able to sight it in with the cover over the objective lens as it has a tiny hole in it the lets enough light in to see the target

Yes..the battery only allows the illumination of the reticle. Without the battery you have your normal black reticle. Awesome scope. I'm happy with it
