I do not have my Varizone handy since it is on my Horton and that is at dads house, but isn't the Varizone a 32mm and the Lumizone a 40mm? I thought that was another advantage to the Lumizone. I am pretty sure they are different, at least in some way, since they sell two different types of flip up caps?

So far I have been happy with the Excal Scopes, kinda. I have to remember what Don talks about when I say this, but I used to never have a problem with light on any of my scopes. I always ended up hunting natural funnels on the edges of woods and most of the time had the sunset in my favor. Never had any problems. But with my spot that I shot my buck in there is some areas that is real thick in there and there has been a couple of times on cloudy days I was unable to see and still had five or so minuets of legal time left. Never had a deer come by during this, but was thinking of what Don said about scopes on both of these occasions. Right now I say I am not interested in spending 200 bucks on a scope, at this point. But I also said in the past I never had a need for a range finder and that too is in my pack now! LOL!! But I would be hard pressed to use another scope, I love being nuts on at fifty yards and not wandering about hold over or under game. I know what marks do what and they are right on with my arrow and CB!
