Never seen them before either. Here is a link for a cabelas price. 199 Bucks! Ouch!!
Will have to wait and see what folks say and then put it on the wish list. Looks nice though!

Not that I'm biased or anything, lol, but:

Lumizone TruGlow
40 mm obj 32 mm obj
$119.95 $199.99
Excal Warranty ??????

Too many lines on the Tru-Glow reticule, reminds me too much of being in jail, looking thru the bars.

I have been looking at them. My problem is they are cluttered just like excals scopes. I would rather see 2 xhairs fer 20 and 40 yds. Then just split fer the 30 yds.

I have shot a horton scope on a crossbow before with all the extra lines on the scope like that one. I believe that they either call them windage or walking markers. Well, it just makes the scope too busy for me. I like a clean view when getting down to picking the hair I want my hunting head to cut, not a cluttered scope.

That is just my opinion, I know some others like all those lines, but different strokes for differrent folks.

The only reason I would look away from the Varizone is light managment and lens quality(I have one). A mediocre scope is easily twice as good as the Varizone. Now I understand that no one "needs" a better scope and all you have to do is identify your intended target and see it well enought to place an arrow accurately, but I want better. I just ordered a Remington 17 HMR and guess what? I thought my 1.5X6X36 B&L 4200 was too good for it. Yup, I know what others use and I know how good of a scope you need for a 150yd shot. Sooo I ordered a Burris!($240.00) LOL! I owned a few low end optics but a few bad experiences with them cured me for good. Who knows, the Truglo scope may be worth it. I just want to know if anyone has used one to see it if is worth looking at guys.

LOL, I wasn't in there long enough for that question to come up. And when you are laying on the cot looking out, the bars appear horizontal.
PS: I was innocent of all charges, and the victim survived, lol.
