Overview
The TruGlo TG8360B is an open reflex sight, not a magnified rifle scope despite how it is filed. It projects a 5 MOA dot in red or green through a 34mm x 24mm window and mounts to a weaver rail for fast, both-eyes-open target acquisition on ARs, shotguns and handguns.
It ships with windage and elevation click adjustments, an integrated weaver-style base and a black anodized housing rated water resistant and shock resistant. TruGlo positions it as a budget alternative to sights costing several times more, and owners largely treat it that way: adequate glass and battery life for practice and general use rather than a duty-grade optic.
- 5 MOA dot reticle in red or green
- 34mm x 24mm sight window
- Integrated weaver-style mount
- Waterproof and shock-resistant black anodized housing
Who it's for
Suits shooters mounting a low-cost dot sight on an AR-15, shotgun, .22 rifle or handgun for recreational shooting, home defense or hunting where a wide, glare-free window matters more than premium glass. Not aimed at buyers who need combat-rated durability or long battery life without swapping cells.
Pros and cons
- Wide, thin-bezel window for fast target acquisition
- Red and green dot with adjustable brightness
- Holds zero well according to multiple owners
- Weaver-style mount with click windage and elevation
- Battery drains quickly if left switched on
- Housing glass can crack from a hard fall
- One owner received a scratched, seemingly used unit
Performance notes
The dot stays crisp with little light bleed according to owners, and the sight holds zero through repeated firing, including one account of 250 rounds without shift. Battery life drops fast if the sight is left powered on between range trips, and the glass is reported thin enough that a fall from a resting position can crack it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TruGlo TG8360B a magnified rifle scope?
No. It is an open reflex dot sight with no magnification, meant for fast both-eyes-open aiming rather than precision long-range work.
What battery does the TruGlo Dual Color Open Dot Sight use?
TruGlo ships it with a battery included; owners note it takes a common, widely available coin cell, so keep a spare on hand since brightness settings can run it down between trips.
