I use this scope and I like it. Have not had much experience with
other Xbow scopes other than the Vari-Zone which it replaced.
One thing you can do to lighting the scope up is to replace the
original scope mount with a good set of 30mm scope rings.
No complaints here!

Just mounted my Twilight on my new Equinox today. The clarity looks great,waiting on dusk to see what it looks like in low light conditions. Can't wait to shoot it,waiting on Danny Miller to ship me my gold tips. Will let you know in a few days how I like it.

Have a XB30 and love it. Hawke's best one. My old eye's see very clearly through it. I would buy another in a heartbeat. :D

Have to second what aging is saying . Put the XB on my relayer y25 to replace the lumizone , far better scope finer aiming points and the lit recticle is not overwhelming . Light gathering in low light seems to be very good , over all clarity is very very good . Would buy another !

Almost forgot the scope caps on the Hawke are not very good . 1st thing I did was use electrical tape to secure them in place . Had to do the same with the caps on my Lumizone .

The XB30 is a very good scope and yes the
caps are a little over sized. What I did to make
a tighter fit was to build the inside of the caps
up with a cloth tape. Just cut to the same inside
width, it doesn't take much and you have a good
fit. Clean appearance can't even see the tape.
I have two other friends who also use this scope
with no complaints!
