Can you use the reticle w/o illumination??

Yes you can. It works real good on bright sunny days. I hardly ever use the illumination.

Yes, reticle works fine and crosshairs easily visible in daytime without being powered on

No, it is just a variable magnifier. The reticle will depend on what type of Eotech you have mounted in front.

not sure if that is the way to go. This is a first gen scope. I've added a high lumen IR light. http://www.amazon.com/Armasight-IR810-Detachable-Infrared-Illuminator/dp/B007SYMPMC/ref=pd_sim_sg_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0DQN8W6P0QGS4BDVPGHQ and it increases the ability. A laser would be redundant with the lit crosshairs. Just a thought. Also, if you can afford a 2nd or 3rd gen, the difference is incredible.

Broad daylight, i.e. full sun, if the unit is shaded it is possible to make out the reticle, but it won't be easy. Once the sun gets near the horizon, no problem.

Absolutely, you can use it with or without the light, this has to be the best holster I have ever purchased. I also love the way it wears, very comfortable and that is either on my hip or on my thigh rig.

You can, but difficult at higher magnification, I use my all the time, I replaced the the battery operated led with a 12 led from radioshack, connected to the power source, because I forget to turn it off! Lol,

No, only works with the light listed due to the offset of the light vs centerline. And that light is very nice, not 5 billion lums so as to blind the shooter.

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.

Red does not effect night vision though i dont think the reticle in any color is enough to be a problem though i have seen people put tape over the fiber optic to dim the reticle. Its more a personal preference i think

yes you can sight in optical and lasers. I have a red dot and it worked fine. Here is a link that may help you out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdPS0mOX-I8You don't fire the pistol when its in the rest !!!

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

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.

Yes you can. I was surprised to see my negative review was not on the product page for this scope. I sent 2 of them back. Would not stay zeroed in. Then I bought 2 (made by Bushnell) Millett 4-16x50 Illuminated Tactical Riflescopes (30mm Tube, .1 mil Click), Matte and am completely satisfied. Beware, hope this helps.

You can but, honestly, it's one of those get what you pay for products. The strobe can't be adjusted in regards to power, you have to use the warm filter just tiger a balanced color, as it is as warm as spilling light blue pair on your subject. Would NOT recommend.

You can if you have the rail adapter or the helmet adapter. I love the light and it is very versatile. The helmet adapter clips to the edge of the helmet not like the rail adapter which will adapt to a weapons system style rail.

Sure you can. And actually that's what I did before. However, I don't quite suggest this combo cuz it didn't work very well. My red dot started having problem after bout 200 rounds, and the magnifier was not that easy to slide to slide. Anyway I changed to Primary Arm PAC 4X, this scope is way better, personal opinion.

Yes. If you order this scope, make sure to check that the illumination works correctly. I had to return my last one because only one side of the + showed up...
