Twilite Delux scope??

[terrym]

Anybody have this unit yet? With a 44mm objective and a 30mm tube it should be a very bright scope in fading light I would think?

I upraded to the DLX from the Lumi and see the improvement in the field. The DLX has a large field of view, has good clarity and low light performance. I would not hesitate to put one on my Y25 or my wifes Vortex.
Don't forget the 30 mm rings.

Yeah, I've got one. Pretty good scope from what I can tell so far. Haven't really had a chance to "test" it on critters in low light. Works good in daylight though.

You know how hard it is to find 30mm steel rings, low height, with a Weaver style base?? I like to never found any! Every place I checked they "could get them", but were out of stock!

I bet Midway would have them

I like Midway, and have gotten quite a few things from them, but I try to buy as much stuff as I can at small local shops. I finally found a set, but not before checking and calling about 10 places.

What kind of steel rings did you get I am planing on upgrading my lumi zone next year to a Twlight or hawk scope and prefer steel rings myself.

[Big58cal]

The ones I finally found were Weaver rings, but I know Leupold makes some also. I think Millet (sp?) also makes low, steel, 30mm Weaver style rings.

I replaced my Excalibur aluminum rings with the steel Millet rings for my Lumi zone and like them very much cranked them tight and no change of p.o.i all season.

He asked about the scope not the rings???

But the scope isn't going to be worth a crap without a good set of rings, so they pretty much go hand in hand. 1" rings are pretty common. 30mm rings are a different story. If he's considering getting the scope, he needs to know about the rings as well.

I fully understand the issues with 30mm scope tubes. I own several scoped rifles. What I want to hear about is how the scope performs and compares to regular 1 inch crossbow scopes ? A 30mm tube and 44mm objective is a design that lends itself to better light gathering, thats what I am curious about also how effective are the reticles?

I would think that having the 44 mm objective lens and 30 mm tube it should be brighter than the XB 30 hawke scope . However I have been informed that there is more to it than just size . The design of the scope itself and the quality / type of the coatings on the lens play a big factor .

Has anyone seen or heard of a side by side comparison / evaluation ??
