Description
Truglo Ignite 30mm Red Dot features a precise 2-MOA dot for accurate aiming, supported by a 30mm multi-coated objective lens that enhances light transmission for clearer images. With digital push-button brightness controls, it offers 8 adjustable settings to ensure visibility in various lighting conditions. The device remembers your last brightness setting upon powering on, allowing for quick adjustments. Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, it provides durability while maintaining a lightweight profile, making it ideal for extended use.
This red dot sight comes with a cantilever Picatinny rail mount, ensuring an absolute co-witness with standard backup iron sights. Windage and elevation adjustments can be made in 1/2-MOA increments for precise targeting. Unlimited eye relief allows for comfortable aiming, regardless of shooting position, while the wide field of view enhances situational awareness. An auto-off feature helps preserve battery life, automatically shutting down after 4 hours of inactivity. The included rubber lens cover protects the optics, and a 15V AAA battery ensures you’re ready to go right out of the box.

FAQ
Many customers ask about the performance of the Truglo Ignite 30mm Red Dot in low-light conditions. Its multi-coated lens significantly enhances visibility, making it suitable for dawn or dusk use. Users report clear and bright reticles, ensuring effective targeting regardless of lighting.
Another common concern is maintenance. The durable aircraft-grade aluminum construction resists wear and tear, and the nitrogen gas-filled housing prevents fogging. Regular cleaning of the lens with a microfiber cloth is recommended to maintain optimal visibility.
When comparing with similar products, some users find the Ignite's auto-off feature and memory function particularly useful compared to other red dots without these enhancements. The unlimited eye relief is also a notable advantage, offering comfort during long shooting sessions.

Understanding Rifle Scope Basics
Magnification
Magnification refers to how much larger an object appears through the scope compared to the naked eye. Fixed power scopes have one magnification setting, while variable power scopes offer a range (e.g., 3-9x).
Objective Lens
The objective lens is the front lens that gathers light. Larger objective lenses (measured in mm) gather more light, providing brighter images in low-light conditions but add weight and require higher mounting.
Reticle
The reticle (crosshair) is the aiming point inside the scope. Modern scopes offer various reticle designs, from simple duplex crosshairs to complex ballistic reticles with holdover points for different distances.
Adjustments
Rifle scopes have turrets for windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) adjustments. These are measured in MOA (minutes of angle) or MRAD (milliradians) and allow precise aiming adjustments.
Proper Scope Mounting Guide
Select the Right Rings & Base
Choose rings that match your scope's tube diameter (typically 1", 30mm, or 34mm). Select a base compatible with your rifle's receiver. For heavy-recoiling rifles, opt for stronger mounts.
Install the Base
Clean the receiver and base thoroughly. Apply a small amount of blue Loctite to the screws. Attach the base to the receiver and torque the screws to manufacturer specifications.
Attach the Rings
Attach the bottom halves of the rings to the base. Place the scope in the rings and loosely attach the top halves. Don't fully tighten yet.
Set Eye Relief & Level
Position the scope for proper eye relief (3-4 inches) in your normal shooting position. Ensure the reticle is level using a scope leveling tool. Once positioned correctly, tighten the rings evenly in a cross-pattern.
Scope Zeroing Tips
Start Close
Begin zeroing at a shorter distance (25-50 yards) to ensure you're on paper before moving to your desired zero distance (typically 100 yards).
Use a Stable Rest
Always zero your rifle from a stable shooting position using a bench rest, sandbags, or a shooting rest to eliminate as much human error as possible.
Fire Groups
Fire 3-shot groups before making adjustments. This provides a more accurate representation of where your rifle is shooting than single shots.
Make Deliberate Adjustments
Know your scope's adjustment values (typically 1/4 MOA per click). If your group is 2 inches low at 100 yards, you'll need to adjust up 8 clicks (for a 1/4 MOA scope).
Confirm Your Zero
After making adjustments, fire another group to confirm your zero. Repeat the process until your point of impact matches your point of aim.
Document Your Settings
Once zeroed, record your settings including distance, ammunition used, and environmental conditions for future reference.

- Clean the exterior with a damp cloth
What to Avoid
- Never use fingers to touch lenses
- Avoid paper products (tissues, paper towels) on lenses
- Don't use acetone, alcohol, or household cleaners
- Never disassemble your scope (voids warranty)
