Does the scope itself have it's own brightness levels? If so, how many?

Yeah it does. 5 settings red 5 setting green from low intensity to high. although as I was shooting 300 rounds my rifle scope fell out dropped constantly keep tightening the screws. And yeah it survived the 7 feet drop, good scope and an even bad ass laser not a fan of the flash light I bought a tlr hl 2 for high intensity flashlight

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.

the scope has various levels of brightness that I believe will change the dot's moa? it's only a guess but I would guess the lowest setting is sub moa and it's brightest is probably moa to 2 or 3 moa? I typically use the dot to assist with lighting conditions. but the low level is usually adequate for most lighting conditions. if necessary i will adjust the brightness so as not to cover the target. I hope this may help?

yes it does. It has glowing fiber optic tubes on them so they really stick out. also they are spot one right out of the box. oh and you can choose to put the scope on or not

No it doesn't, it has cross hairs. Great scope tho. Very clear and dependable.

That is the brightness level of the illuminated scope, red or green. I have 5 crossbows for my sons and I, I have this scope on each crossbow, I believe in looking threw the same scope every time. This scope has taken many deer in low light conditions.

It has 3 brightness settings. And yes, if you have it set on the brightest level it will blind the heck out of people and dogs alike. It also has a strobe setting.

You can see through the scope although it has no magnification. It only acts as a sight.

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

Oops I responded, but I did not keep this scope. It was not as clear and bright as the link below.http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1156168462/simmons-whitetail-classic-rifle-scope-65-20x-50mm-adjustable-objective-matte?cm_vc=ProductFinding

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. :)

windage and elevation only, the other knob is for turning the red or green light on the cross hairs at different brightness. In hunting situation these lights are worthless, to bright to see target. great scope, on my wife's 308 and she loves it. Picks up light at dawn or dusk way past what the naked eye can see.

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

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

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.

One red dot, or one green dot if I switch it to green. Ive had mine up and down in brightness and its been fine on every level.

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.
