Is the IR daylight visible? some of these "affordable" ones do not have a bright enough reticle for daylight.

I've found that it is plenty bright. Just a few days ago I pointed it at the freshly fallen snow on a sunny day and I could still see the reticle.
1700023
yes, i run it on 10 or 11 power in bright sunlight and have no issue seeing it.
1700024
I feel it is bright enough, but just barely at full power and not as bright as a zero power red dot at full power.

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.

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.

It can see in less light than my eyes can, so I say yes. I don't know what wavelength illuminator you would need to brighten the picture, but near-infrared should work.

Yes, and that is one of the things I like best about this scope. Even when everything is functioning properly, during bright daylight, you can' even really see the illumination. I don't care about that. In lower light conditions, I love the green illumination, and it is very bright. The little extra money for the illumination is worth it. I love mine!

it sits lower than the eotech I have, it has a bigger view, likely a 40mm or so, it co witnessed fine on the ar15 with a flip up front and rear magpul mbus, its very bright, at night it may be too much without a light, so def need a streamlight or surefire light to tone down the brightness of the reticle during low light

Yeah, we have some Speco cams that have invisible IR lights. So they are not visible at night. It seems the invisible IR lights are getting harder and harder to find these days.

No, it is not infra red. The reticles can be illuminated with red or green color, but you will not gain night vision view on the target.

Yep has etched glass crosshairs and will illuminate in both red and green. Red is easier to see during daylight. Overall good value scope.

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

I would say they are about average for a duplex style reticle, when compared to leopold and nikon. It is more of a hunting style reticle.

The one I have does not. My understanding is that those were produced in limited numbers and available only to the military. Some controversy erupted over that a few years ago and Trijicon stopped issuing those to service personnel. You might try contacting Trijicon directly and see if they have any still in stock for direct sale or if they could produce one for you.

Yes you can see in the day light. Its not as bright as the red. At night it super bright and you can see the green beam all the way to the target. I have it on my ar15. I've been very happy. Also if you any firearms give us a call Elite Tactical Firearms 407-951-9088

I hope this answer is what you are looking for. In my opinion the reticule is bright in dark conditions. However, if in a dark room and aimed at a well lit window, the reticule isn't very visible. I feel this is a minor draw back considering if it were a battery powered unit and the batteries fail you have nothing at all!

I don't know for certain, since I haven't used the illuminated version. But I would check the reviews of that particular model very carefully, and make sure that you can adjust the brightness all the way down. A common complaint with illuminated gear is that the brightness may be adjustable, but that even a the lowest setting it is still too bright. I can tell you that I've never been tempted by the illuminated version because I've never had a problem seeing the crosshairs on the regular version, and I've used it everywhere from city center sidewalk astronomy to radically dark skies deep in the Mojave desert. It seems to me that for bright stuff you don't need illlumination, and that for dim stuff the illumination might compete with the faint light from the target, BUT take that with a huge grain of salt since I am basically speaking from ignorance.

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

Dim in daylight. Don't forget it's constructed and it's purpose is not the target to see the sight. Only shooter can see the glow of the sight. Bright, sort off, also to locate the MossBerg in the dark, place in position so it's visible. But, I lost the sight, does not secure well enough. Even installation is " screwy. " does not rotate fully to be flush with barrel and no gap between thread-in portion. Has to be forced to fully align the glow portion of sight with shooter' and barrel. Since lost, sight cannot be replaced without buying again. Since, I like my sight to stay on the barre Dim in daylight.

Yes, the 'cross hairs' are just like a traditional scope, you only lose the red dot, which helps find the center of the reticle in low-light situations. For daylight use, I usually leave the red dot turned off.

Its quite bright on the high setting. I doubt I'll even need the high setting during daylight until the batteries start to get weak. First time I shot was full sun and on high the red dot was "bleeding out", I had to turn it dimmer to get a cleaner dot for clean aiming. Oh, right. The Red Dot scope from TruGlo I put on with the NcStar 45-degree mount has the qualities listed above. :)
