Does a quality crossbow scope exist?

Thank you i will look into the Hawke, i will post what i end up with what i think

I have a Nikon Crossbow scope. Seems like great quality. Dialed in at intervals out to 75 yds. Have had it for about 5 years. Works great.

Hawke XB PRO.....take a look, I like it!

Bought a new Excalibur Assassin 420 and the Tact100 is actually a decent scope. Super clear edge to edge and decent low light optic. Definitely not a top end rifle scope but neither the cost.
I would suggest if you want rifle quality optics to go with an Optimizer and a nice Duplex scope. For a drop ballistic scope, maybe a Zeiss xb75? I love the Vortex DNR but couldn’t get used to the MOA holdovers.

How do you like the optimizer speed rail?

I loved my HHA on my vertical bow. Thanks much!

I did a comparison test of all of the current Hawke scopes, the Zeiss XB75, the new Ten Point EvoX Scope , a Weaver Classic Extreme 50mm 2.5x10/Optimizer, and a Zeiss 2x8 Lighted Duralyt/Optimizer.

Background. I’ve used the Optimizer from day 1 of their introduction. The quality and durability are amazing! My primary crossbow (SWAT) has the original Optimizer/Duralyt. My newer Optimizer is on my Aculeus 460/Conquest 4.5x14, parallex adjust. My secondary crossbow (another SWAT) has the EvoX . The Zeiss XB75 is on my Excalibur BD400. Crossbow shooting and hunting is my primary hobby.

The test: acquisition and low light capability are my two primary qualities I desire in a crossbow scope. The XB75 has the most usable reticle of all crossbow scopes, IMO. However, it is poor in lower light conditions. The Hawke XB30 SR Pro is pretty good but doesn’t have the low light capability nor lighted reticle qualities of the EvoX scope which is the best in class, by far, IMO. However, this scope and all other dedicated crossbow scopes suffer from a fixed power limitation. The higher speed crossbows cause these scopes to be on a comparatively high power such as 5-6X with a comparatively low objective lens .

The EvoX scope has excellent optical qualities and low light capability. The reticles are very fine(thin) , to the point, that I turn it on full during the day for hunting. This isn’t a problem for me. Just a fact. However, even though it has the low light capability as the incredible 2x8 Duralyt, there’s a world of difference in game acquisition in quick acquisition with the Duralyt verses the EvoX on about 5x. I see this as a much greater handicap than dialing in a range on the Optimizer/Jack Plate. When I’m sitting in my stand, I dial in 30 yards, 2x on the Duralyt, and am fine for anything out to 40 yards. Aim a little low if short and high if a little farther than 30 yards. Practice can help in this area.

The most cost effective combination for many, is the excellent Leupold VXR (2x7, 3x9) on an Optimizer/Jack Plate.

NOTHING EQUALS A QUALITY RIFLE SCOPE ON AN OPTIMIZER OR JACK PLATE.

I'm still running a Hawke XB-1 and a Hawke XB-30 on my hunting bows. Great with the light reticles.

I have the Optimizer on another xbow with a basic Bushnell 3x9x40 rifle scope. The bow is bad bad bad luck for me. It's an Excalibur Matrix 380 Lynx that I painted black camo. Shoots fantastic, but that dang thing is allergic to deer and turkeys. Lol. So it stays home and I hunt with a Camx 330.

I picked up a Truglo xbow scope last year. This works sort of like a varible scope but you use the magnification to calibrate you trajectory of your bows speed. It also has illuminated reticles which are great for liw light. Once dialed in you leave the "power" setting as is and you're goot out to 80 yards should you decide tobshoot that far. I shot 2 deer this year with it at 45 and 50 yards and hits were spot on.
