I have age 3by9by40ir scope. it has a illuminator red dot in crosshairs .problem is need to use much strength to turn on.any way to fix? scope is brand new. somewhere to send?was achristmas present. use on varmint rifle is dead on at 100 yds.it is a bsa scope not good with computers,any phone number i can call.

I use a 22 cal rifle laser on mine , the 22 is nearest the same diameter to the bolts I use so I can lay laser right into same bolt bed on frame that bolt normally rests in , then bench rest bow and get into shooting position then adj scope to bring crosshairs/ reddot onto laser dot at white target board , try to adj at distance you'd comfortably take a shot at

Change the battery.

They are used to indicate elevation needed to hit your target at various ranges. The distances should be indicated in your owner's manual. For instance, if calibrated for .223 remington, and sighted in at 100 yards, the first might be 200 yards, the 2nd 300 yards, etc.

I would send it to them to be checked.

Try this manual, Tasco resources Rifle scope. Hope this helps Fix Ya up.

Yes, more than likely.
The scope just needs to be disassembled and the crosshair flange repaired or replaced.
A dealer should be able to order the part or at least fit one similar enough to work.
The trick is not to allow any moisture into the scope's internal cavity during the repair.

Replace the LED or bulb in the reticle. This LED or bulb illuminate the military dot and/or cross-hairs to Red. Red on Green. stewbison

It has been awhile since if seen one but I think there is a large adjustment knob on top. This has a screw slot that a dime or a penny will fit. Hold the knurled ring and remove the top, this is the battery compartment. If this is a new scope there will be a thin piece of plastic to keep the battery from going dead during shelf time. The adjustment ring is the brightness control.

in short its a "no!" you cant fit an illuminated cross to a normal scope
