(Photos via Phil Willis ) Even with the new replacement battery cap for the X-Sight, it is important that the cap is completely tightened when shooting. If not tightened correctly, you could experience recoil-related shut off due to poor battery connectivity. Remember, if you can still see red, it's not tight enough.

Yeah, Just got my scope on my .300 BLK Out. Scope would shut off when fired. Any suggestions if this continues and the lid is on all the way ??

Assuming you are using good AA batteries, you may try to wrap them in tape to create a tighter fit in the battery compartment. You can check the springs as well to see if they are compressed.

Hi Joe Something that is not clear in any of the paperwork I have seen, however, if you are using an external battery pack, do the 4 x AA batteries need to be installed at all?

I've pulled the batteries while on the external battery pack and it never flinched. Put them back in and it was still running fine.
