2x30mm Truglo Red Dot Report / Question

[EvisceratorSrB]

Took my red dot mounted on my SKS today to the range for the first time. I had great success. Those successes were followed by mishaps, mainly regarding the mount that is a tri-rail receiver cover replacement.

The good part of the day came with the great groups I was punching in paper. The red dot was precise. I wasn't expecting it to be that precise, considering I only paid 75 for it. I LOVE the fact that it has 2x magnification. Truly unique when it comes to red dots. Overall I was very satisfied with the red dot.

I was truly dissappointed however that the tri-rail alan screws were jiggled loose. I was without an alan wrench...bummer. I had to put it away. Lesson learned.

Ok now my stupid question. I was looking all over the internet and no instruction manual came with the optic. I was looking for the battery compartment, to no avail. I was wondering, where in the hell is it? I'm bewildered, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Matt.

Thanks for the review, I've been wanting to try a 2X red dot and now I just might.

I don't have this model but I looked at a picture of it and it looks similar to other red dots that I have (Bushnell/Simmons/Millett). I believe that you should be able to unscrew the top of the cap off of the intensity control ring. If it doesn't have a slot on top you might try prying it up with your fingernail (just don't force it). If that doesn't do it you should find their contact number on their web page and give them a ring.
