Santa brought me a micro 335 with a Twilight DLX scope for christmas. Everything was working fine but last week when i had to take it out again for a daydream hunt only the green illumination was working, not the red. I could easily have lived with that but when you pay almost $800 for something it should work without flaw so i called excalibur & received a new one in less than a week. Which leads me to
1. kudos to excal for great customer support
2. what's the deal with twilight scopes? Is this sort of thing common?
I have seen threads on dead zone & tact zone scopes in this forum but nothing on the twilight. Anybody have any long term experience with it?
Thanks,
mark

I have a couple of twilights with one being over a years with no problems , My newest did the same as yours within a month of buying .. I did find out if your battery is low it could cause similar problems ..

Sometimes......when only one of the illuminated reticles works....try a new battery. I has fixed some before. just a thought.

Re: Replaced a new Twilight DLX
I thought my Tach Zone scope headed south as the green reticle quit working. Put in a new battery and all is well, I would have never thought a low battery would let the red reticle work but not the green..... but that's what happened.flightattendant100 wrote:Sometimes......when only one of the illuminated reticles works....try a new battery.

i spose it is entirely possible that i returned a perfectly fine scope to be replaced. well, i now know it is possible & will check it if this ever happens again. i will also check my scope to be sure the illumination is off when i put it away. thanks.

At the local tool supply store I found a 10 pack of 2032 batteries for $5.99 on sale. On my stock I keep a single 2032 under duct tape incase of need.

Re: Replaced a new Twilight DLX
If your not going to use it for awhile, I'd recommend taking the battery out. Seems there is still a little current drain even with it off. Some people just flip the battery over. I just remove it to avoid any unnecessary corrosion that may build, and to save battery life.Goose52 wrote:i spose it is entirely possible that i returned a perfectly fine scope to be replaced. well, i now know it is possible & will check it if this ever happens again. i will also check my scope to be sure the illumination is off when i put it away. thanks.
