Does this model have the illuminated reticle?

Yes it has the FireDot reticle which is a red dot in the center of the crosshairs and helps quite a bit in target acquisition. I bought it for my AR15A2 HBAR.

Yes sir. Also, the brightness of the red dot is adjustable. Just keep pressing the button that turns the reticle on/off to cycle through levels of brightness.

The entire reticle is not illuminated, just the dot at the aim point. Leuopold has branded this as a "Fire dot". This model has 3 different reticles with the Fire dot. I am not sure which one this listing is for. You can see the various reticle patterns at: http://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/scopes/vx-r-riflescopes/vx-r-1-25-4x20mm-includes-metric/

It has illuminated circles although they do sell the style of reticle your looking for! Just do a little more research

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.

It has the standard black reticle. But the green or red look really good. The only problem I have with the scope is the eye relief on it. I mounted it on my AR 15 carry handle, and you need to be close to it to get a clear view out of it.

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.

You see a black reticle, just like a normal non-illuminated scope. The circle around the center dot is very wide. I like it for fast acquisition, but many people complain it is too wide and blocks their view.

No it is not illuminated and focus starts to get bad at about 22x but for the price I still recommend it as I routinely shoot 1" groups at 150 yds.

It comes with Firedot G SPR Product #115387 and that is a green dot version OR Duplex Reticle Product #115388 and is the cost effective version and that does not have illumination.

This is the GEN iii model with the same reticles. It just doesn't state it in the description.

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.

No, it has to be illuminated. The illuminated red/green is 4 different times of low light situations, like green for low light like dusk and red for dark or haze. The illumination hi-lights the reticle scale. When not lite the scale will read black, that's for basic daylight.

The model I ordered was TA11E-G (green chevron reticle) for my flat top .308

Amazon offers both scopes. Mine is the mil-dot. It has an adjustable brightness illuminated green and red reticle. I like the quick release on it. Worth the money.

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.
