Is the reticle visible without illumination or is this just a variable zoom red dot.

The CQB X3 is a variable scope that goes from 1X to 4X. The reticule is visible with or without immunization. In the center of the reticule, there is if turned on, a red or green dot. There is control to adjust either Red Dot or Green Dot with intensity. Hope that helps!

You turn off the illumination, the reticle will be black. When you turn the wheel to the red level, the reticle is red, same as the green and blue. Thanks Optics-store

The reticule is indeed black and functions just like any other scope - illuminated or not. So "yes" is the answer to your question!

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.

It has just a normal piccitany rail on it. The scope actually has lights indide of it. You turn the dial it has red and green dots that you can fade in and out

The reticles are etched glass so they can be illuminated. But are visible without illumination.

This is not a scope to see far away targets it's a red dot for close quick targets when you look in the scope you see a red dot

As others have noted, this does not have any crosshairs (same as anything else called "magnifier", as opposed to a "scope"). However, there are red dots out there that you could use this with that are battery-less - look at Meprolight M21, in particular.

It has a illuminated center dot that lights up red. Very nice to have. I've had scopes that had the whole reticle light up and it was way too much goin on in the scope and it would drain the battery way too fast. The center dot is simple effective and great on the battery. Plus with the crosshairs you won't even need the dot about 90% of the time.

It sounds defective. All of the reticle colors illuminate brightly on mine. And I have been able to adjust windage and elevation to zero the scope although it did take a lot of clicks on the screws.

Steve,The reticle is black and there are two back lights inside the scope that light up. They shine a red or green light onto the reticle so they appear to change colors. The problem is the light refracts and the reticle isn't thin and crisp looking. If you are shooting short distance they will work fine but why use a scope at short distance. Just leave the lights turned off and use it like a normal scope and it works great.

You'll need to zero the red dot/green dot on the distance you're comfortable with. Me, it was 100 yards. There is no magnification and is easy to pick up.

Not sure what you mean adjust it like a scope since its a red dot sight, however you are able to adjust the brightness of the red dot with 22 brightness settings, i believe its 22,

I am not sure what they have put on the description the scope has red or green illumination but not a laser dot not sure what they are talking about. What you get is a really good high power scope that is clear and has the red and green that light up inside on the recticle. Seems to hold real well but is a large scope.I have mine on a full size AR. Shoot golf balls at a hundred yards and see them really well.

It is not a true holographic sight like an eotech. ..where the image is created between 2 thin panes of glass. The sight mark is a red dot still where a beam is projected on the glass. It is a good red dot for the price though.

This is not a "true" night vision device. The reticule is powered by tritium so it can be clearly seen in the sight but if the is no ambient light you will not see the target.

It has black wire reticles. Illumination can be off, or can be controlled from barely visible to quite strong. It is also red or green, depending on which way you turn the dial
