Looks just like the vari-zone on my horton.
But I have the Legend HD 175. I could not be happier with the v-zone. It shoots better than the operator.
Now do we call them Horcalibers or exhortons?

RE: It's a beautiful thing I tell ya!!
Hotburn: I'm guessing here, but are you aware of the problems some of the Horton crowd are having putting xbow scopes or multiple aim point red dots on their bows? The dial a range gizmo can cause problems if it moves on ya. Some have epoxied it in one position, which is kinda too permanent for my tastes, and I've never seen one up close, but was wondering if a small set screw drilled and tapped on the edge of adj knob extending into a small, shallow, but slightly larger [clearance] hole under knob wouldn't work well?? Once you try that V-zone that dial gizmo will be history anyhow, lol. Just remember, once you get it dead on at 20, don't use the W & E adjustments anymore, just the speed ring. After you are all done w/ speed ring, you may need 1 or 2 clicks at 30 or 40 on windage. One thing about the V-zone I'm not fond of is that each click is 1/2" at 20 yds, and alot more than you'ld think at 30 and 40. Let us know!!

RE: It's a beautiful thing I tell ya!!
Thanks for the replys guys I cant wait till after work, I only have to go in for eight so I should have time when I get home. I first heard of the problem with the dial a range on here. I never really had probles with mine. The scope base has a pretty good spring on it and the dial has flat spots on it so I have never had a problem with it moving on its own with mine. The only problem I ever had was with the hinge bolt that it pivots on. It is the allen bolt just above where is says fire for the safety. Mine keep coming loose on me, but I just took it out and gave it a shot of blue loctite and never had any problems with it after that. I always thought that it worked I just didnt like having to remember to turn it up and down and since it is not precise like I hope the varizone is i did not like having to remember that the three click is good for thirty but just aim a tad low and such. I want the scope to be nuts on and not have to worry about that stuff. Thanks again and will give you guys an update tomorrow.
