New to posting on the forum and have a question about a brand new optic that I purchased. It is a Aimpoint Patrol Rifle Optic. When I turn it on I do not see the red dot at all until I get to the 6 click. Alos when I do get to full power, I think it is the 10th click the red dot is bright but I am also gettting some red around the inside of the inner scope ring. Does any one know what could be going on with it. I am trying to decide if it warrents me sending it back or if it may be something as simple as a low battery issue with the battery that was shipped witht the optic. Any imput is appreciated, thanks guys.
Also please excuse my ignorance, I am new to this platform and still learning. Is it because the first 4 clicks or only visible with a NVD?
Yes. What you are describing is completely normal, including the halos when you have it set to max brightness.
The first few illumination settings are for night vision equipment.
Thank you both for the help I appreciate it…
