Hi Steve

What batteries power this device? Some 10 years ago I did have one of these but was unable to purchase batteries locally.

I was able to work around this by purchasing a couple of smaller button type cells, using a small spring to hold them in place. I think I had to place the cells in a plastic tube to "fill out" the size and make them fit in the battery compartment?

I’m going off memory here, so I may be a bit fuzzy with some of the details.

They are an excellent, quality unit. I’m not sure if the current GA-4 uses a different battery? As with all Vixen products, it is a beautifully crafted unit and because the illuminated reticule is projected into the FOV, it does not “blot out” small stars as do the wires of illuminated cross hairs.

Cheers

Dennis
