It's a variable power illuminated optic, but also displays a black reticle with the power turned off. Both are visible with both eyes open. The zoom is extremely good and it's a very bright scope. It was mounted and never fired, it's basically new.
Runs on AA batteries for more than 600 hours, waterproof, and extremely rugged.
Here is a picture of the scope mounted on the rifle:


Here is one for sale online : http://www.amazon.com/Leupold-1-3x14mm- ... B003AQIYP4
These sell on Amazon for $1139. I will sell this one for $800, which is 30% off the new price. Again, this optic has never been on a rifle when it was fired. Also if you have a good scope with good magnification, let me know. Or really any trades but a scope is preferred and please keep in mind what kind of rifle it's getting mounted on.
