how small is Illuminator at 200 yards
1350641
The illuminator is a big help with Gen 1 optics. At 200 yards you can still make out a deer. I tried it while coyote hunt in Tenn. up to 100 yards is well defined. With out the Illuminator the field of view will be much darker.

I don't know exactly. But it is adjustable from flood to spot modes and works great at 300+ yards with my Pulsar 750 night scope for hunting varmints at night.

Can't really comment at 200n yds. Where I use it, 100 yards is max with the following observations: (1) White Snow Background A+; (2) Dried Out Fall Leaves B+ (3) Dark Green Heavy Wooded Vegetation B-. I will say that for the small cost of this unit (when compared to others), I am well pleased with it.

Since this illuminator is adjustable it can be as wide or narrow as you like. The illumination projects very well at any angle. You will now be unhappy with this one no matter what the application requires.

It shines as far as you need a light this size to shine...about 100ft. If you need more than that, I would look for a larger light. This is a perfect light for home defense and the strobe function is INTENSE.

Not very far, this is a gun optimized for a 10 meter target. It is accurate because it is fairly low power.

Yes, the biult-in IR illuminator allows one to see pretty well up to 30 yards when in near complete darkness. But you don't want to look at the ground in front of your feet 'cause the image you see is not true 1x. Bascially the ground will look closer than it actually is when using the NVD and it is hard to not stumble when navigating this way. Use one eye with the device to look ahead, use the other to glance at what is in front of your feet. If its too dark to see whats in front of you with your unaided eye, then tuff luck. A good headleamp may be more pratictal for trail walking.

This is a second answer to the same question; generally no flashlight will illuminate anything at ½ or ¼ mile with any intensity, regardless what the manufacture may claim. But this small flashlight is one powerful item; generally speaking I would estimate that at a distance of 200 to 500 feet away, it would light up most every thing in your view. With two batteries supplied there is plenty of power, but I would suggest ordering an extra two batteries that only cost about $8.00 extra. There is nothing better than having two extra fully charged batteries when your power is running low. A GREAT flashlight for a LOW COST.

Inside 100 yards it's fine, but beyond that the red dot probably is too large for small targets, unless you set the brightness down a bit.

No, this is not good out to 200 yards. First off it's not a scope, it is 1x which is not magnification, it's an optical sight with no magnification. It does have the ability to illuminate the reticle. It's purpose is the same as an Ampoint or any other illuminated sight only cheaper and it is also heavy, I also found it to go through batteries fairly fast.

The sight works very well and is more than sufficient to provide night capability for self defense. I've scouted my neighborhood at night with no moon and can clearly make out images at 100 yds although, this would be well beyond self defense ranges - perhaps if one were hunting at night picking off vermin this would work well. The illuminator is included in the new packages, runs of easily found batteries, has a self shut down timer and can illuminate outwards to about 50 yds on dark nights. Under half to full moon the illuminator was not required. For the money, this is a quality unit that should work under most conditions. It's got all the capability one would need in most situations, just not as crisp an image or with all the details of say, a generation III NV scope. It mounts on any weaver or mil-spec picatinny rail system and comes with a very good mount. Includes a daylight cover to use for daytime sight-in and general protection of the lens and a carry bag for when not mounted on a rifle.

I did mine at 20-25 yards. I took the scope off, however, and just use the iron sights. I bought this to eliminate a skunk infestation on my homestead. most of my shots were under 20 yards and at night. I mounted a tactical flashlight under the barrel and preferred to use the iron sights as it gave me better visibility of the area around the target should the target move and I have to use a follow up shot.

As a user of this light, in total darkness, which is rare, this light will illuminate a minimum of 300 ft. in a pratical user manner, however I have used this light to shine at someone in the distance which he said to me he could see well over 2 miles as i approached him with a cell phone

The +/- yardage, as stated in owners manual, is +/- 0.5 yard at distances less than 125 yards and at maximum range is +/- 3 yards. Maximum range for a reflective target is 1000 yards, for trees is 700 yards, and for deer is 600 yards according to Leopold Complete Operation Manual. My RX-1000i is the best on the market and is waterproof. Dean

In daylight about 1 inch in dark or low light conditions I have tested out to about 25yards and still see it. As you add light the range drops. Hope this helps even though I don't have a max effective range for you.

I use the 20/20 for coyote hunting, I set in the crossroads they are about 350 yds. and I can see the end of each road. Can see something moving cant tell what. But at 200 yds. I can see the yot. good. all on average night. no IR set 12 frame, 3/4 gan, white screen, 3 back light, don't use the eye you look in scope on rifle with

It'll reach out to 100 yards no problem. It's comparable to a 1-2 million candle power old school one. Stay with this 10W 5 W no so bright. I use them for deer tracking and spotting. Super light and it seems to run a long time. I used mine for over an hour this season.

I've gone out at night with it and I can see the green dot as far as I am able to see due to obstructions in the area. I guess it was about 200 yards. Of course the dot is easier to see if you're not in direct sunlight but you are still able to pick it up looking through the scope.

I would safely say it could illuminate around 20 x 20 feet. This all depends how high you mount the light. It is very bright and I'm super pleased with mine!

I think it is a 3 Mil. center dot. It is fairly small for out to 100 yard shooting.
