Is this a InfraRed scope? If so, will a InfraRed light illuminate my target in low to very low light conditions, and at what distance

This is not an infrared scope. It does however have illuminated reticles (crosshairs). You can choose either red or green illumination and it has a dial to intensify the reticle or to dim it. Works very well in low light conditions where you can see your target but wouldn't have enough light to see your crosshairs. It is not however a night vision scope.

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.

I know at 250 yards, you can see the body of a coyote or deer. I have used mine probably close to 400 yards and will light up eyes of animals, good enough for a shot with a scoped rifle.

Yes it can, it has a black reticle that surprisingly wasn't as thick as some of the others I have seen that illuminate. I have this scope on my DPMS LR-308 and never even use the red/green illumination.

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.

There is a faint red glow visible when looking into the end of the IR illuminator when it is switched on. You can't see it from very far away though.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this Item. It does not stay in focus. For example: When you put it to your eye and focus it in, then lower it down to walk some and bring it back up to your eye, you have to refocus it. Constantly. It is very annoying. I have used it to locate hogs I have killed as it does make it easier you just have to worry about the thickness of the area your in. If the IR beam hits a branch, tree or thick brush that you are close too it just blurs out. It useful ness is better in a more open space.

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. :)

No! because the scope has a chemical inside that will degrade if to much light hits it.

Works just like a normal scope when the cross-hairs are not illuminated. If you would like to know how the reticle looks like, take a look at the BARSKA Mil-Dot Airgun (Black Matte, 4x32 AO) here on amazon. Looks exactly the same. I suggest you swap out the scope rings for some better quality ones. Mine came loose after putting 60 rounds of 100gr .243 on the paper.

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

It has a red beam I noticed at night, technically not sure if its laser or infrared.

I believe it is: Light output: 60 Lumens. Per my prior review: "This light gives a tight circle to at least 40 yards [120ft]. I was able to identify a test subject at that distance on a moonless night. From testing, it appears that shooting at the center of the light circle will get you close for the "kill" at 20-40 ft., or further, (as it appears that on a full size Glock, the light is centered at some distance from the factory). It is not a laser, but in the "heat of combat" it should suffice if you shoot in the center of the light, (assuming that your light is close to center on the target). This should be sufficient in a dark house. I love this light. Much better than a Mag Light, (which I love). I know some may have a negative comment, but in the heat of the moment, a criminal will be heading for an exit and will be jumping for joy that you did not hit him. Same as a laser. If he stands still long enough for you to draw a bead on him with a laser, he is either STUPID or you are just lucky. I would rather know I can shoot into the center of the light beam and have a great chance of a "hit" in a SHTF situation. For what it is worth....

its not a laser, it's only a red dot, and the switch is mounted on the unit. the red dot is only visible within the scope.

It has some range finding reticle, it does light up green and red. I have around 500 rounds through my .300 Win MAG and it still comes back to zero everytime. My scope is clear until right before max zoom.

no, the moon is not too bright for this size scope. Optional I'd say, unless you're looking at a nearly full moon at low power and you have very sensitive eyes.

It's ok at it's shortest range. Low light and long distance usually don't make a great combo. Even though it's a 30mm tube, it doesn't gather light too well on an object that's 500+yds away.

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