scope question
what is a good low level light scope for the x bow for those last few mins of shooting time. thanks
Re: scope question
That is a tough question that will bring about a lot of answers! Nikon that I have is good, Redfield Revenge is good, all the Leupold scopes are great choices. Hawke people love them too. For the money right now, it is hard to beat the Redfield Revenge!

Re: scope question
For a small scope, it is a hard one to beat! Fits the Matrix frame real nice too.

I like my Leupold VX2 1-4x20.
Only a single crosshair but set on 2x (for my bow) I can use the reticle for 3 yardages.

The Leupold VXR 2-7 with the Firedot reticle (a fine dot) and 30ml main tube will really extend your shooting till half hour after sunset. Place the dot and pull the trigger.

Re: scope question
WOW! I have to admit that leupold fire dot do look good...But for the price I am very happy with my Nikon bolt. But if money anit no problem that fire dot sure looks good. Even more so than the crossbones........bubba.........

Re: scope question
At 12.6 oz the Leupold 2-7 VXR is still lighter than any Excalibur scope.warningshot wrote:yeah i forgot to say im trying to keep the bow as light as possible.

Re: scope question
I really like the Nikon Bolt Xr scope on my Equinox, light, short, accurate and with a 3" to 4" eye relief. Great in low light conditions.
