....Just picked up the Matrix 380 at FEDEX....all looks OK...couldn't pass up the price...I just left a response in the Tact-Zone thread as I noticed that the "red" illumination is working while the "green" is not...does this make sense?....Has anyone else experienced this...is this part of the well documented "gremlins" that Excal claims they know nothing or heard nothing (wink, wink) about or is this just a battery going dead...not sure

Other than that it looks barely used....

The one I just traded in had that problem. Sometimes the Red would work and Green would not. Sometimes Green and not Red worked and sometimes both worked like they were supposed to. A few times neither would come on until I clicked the knob on and off a few times. It was when mine fogged up while sitting in a blind bad enough to be useless that I sent it in for another scope.
