RE: Equinox or Vortex?
Stoop
Now that I've hunted with the Lumizone for a couple of years, not sure I'd go that way again. It's a great scope but it's big. Adds too much weight to the bow. If I did it again, I may have gone with varizone. Lighted reticule has never been used so far. On the other hand, the Hawke crossbow scopes look pretty impressive.
If you can pull the Equinox, and it's $140 less, that may be the way to go. One question I would want answered is if the 'lifetime' warranty transfers on the used bow. I'd want to hear that from Excal.
