Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
Hey everyone, any comments good or bad on the twilight scope? I have the Tac-zone, and I am not a fan of the optics. Lots of peripheral distortion,and your eye must be perfectly centered or you cant see your target. Thanks for any help.
Re: Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
You won't get major distortion around the edges until you crank the speed ring to the max. Keep your eyes on the target and bring the scope up between your eyes and the target and it works fine.

Re: Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
Thanks for the reply,I really dont like this scope so i am looking for a scope that has better optics,and better in dim light.
Re: Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
The Twilight scope is a nice crossbow scope but its huge. Probable be better off looking at a Hawke scope I like the xb30 by Hawke but they have a few other models that are more compact. I just think the Twilight scope will be to big for the Matrix.

Other than not havin Illumination the old standby Varizone is a solid performer!
Re: Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
Is the twilight that much bigger than the vari-zone?I had the vari-zone in the past and it did not seem overly large. Is there a big differance in dim light between the varizone and the twilight?

Re: Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
I haven't owned nor looked thru a twilight but its bigger n heavier. I never found the varizone lackin in the dimlight fer close up shootin. I have taken deer n hogs in some sure enuff dimlight wid it
Re: Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
I have owned two Vari's and one DXL, if fact, I have owned all of Excaliburs scopes. The DXL is clearer, offers a larger field of view and has better twilight performance than the Vari. It is the best scope in Excaliburs linup and worth the money IMO.

Re: Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
I've owned both too and Norm pretty much sums it up. I'll take a Twilight over a Vari hands down.enormous wrote:I have owned two Vari's and one DXL, if fact, I have owned all of Excaliburs scopes.

I use a Leupold VX-I 2-7x33mm on my Equinox. They are crystal clear beyond comparison. I suggest Leupold VX-1 2-7x33mm. They only weigh 9.9 ounces which is lighter than most competitors and carry full lifetime warranty along with stellar customer service. Plus they are made in the U.S.A.
Leupold golden ring scope offer superior light gathering characteristic during the last few critical minutes of legal shooting time.

Re: Reviews on Twilight DXL Scope?
Had the varizone and really liked it
Last year I upgraded to the twilight and love it
It is big and heavier but being a he-man I
hardly notice it.
