Does this scope have black wire reticles? Or is it just illuminated?

It does NOT have black wires. The mil-dot reticle is etched glass. See the full description at http://www.leapers.com/prod_detail.php?itemno=SCP3-UG4165AOIEW

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

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

Yes, it does have black wire reticles and it also illuminates. This is a great scope by the way. You will love it. I would have to say the down side is the view diameter of what you see is not all that great.

It's a good scope, but get the one with the illuminated crosshairs for night viewing

With no battery or a dead battery, the scope's cross hairs are black. If the battery is good, you can choose either red or green, depending on a knob setting on the side of the scope. Each red and green have 3 levels of brightness, also selected with that same knob.

No issues.... You see the reticle in black vs red. It is seen Very Clearly even in full sunlight

No, the reticle is not illuminated per se...when the illumination is enabled it places a "red dot" in the center of the cross-hairs of the reticle. The red dot is visible in low light situations and will be very hard to see in daylight hours...but very handy for fast target acquisition in low light. Here is a link to their site with a picture. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/crossfire-II-1-4x24-riflescope-with-v-brite-moa-reticle/reticle

Yes it is all black. The picture can be deceiving. Mounted on my ar15. I'm very happy with this scope as well

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

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.

No. Only the cross hairs are illuminated. It is however an excellent scope.

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.

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

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

Well....green-ISH. It looks just like any other budget NV that I've ever seen. I own one and it works well for the price. It does NOT have a reticle so it won't work as a stand-alone scope, but lines up well with my EOtech 557.----hope this helps.

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.

Not a 100% sure but I think it would be an illuminated reticle. Check into that though!

The scope has no method of brightening the view through it. I have never seen one that had this capability, but the Aim scope in question is bright, and the illuminated cross-hair is helpful for darker targets.

No this is not a night vision scope. It has your standard black cross hairs but they can be illuminated to be red or green.
