Nice buck there! Good that you're pleased with your equipment. :)

Gerald, the scope is a Burris laser/scope 4x-12x-42mm, Ballistc Pix. Its like a Mil dot scope but has a built in range finder. A touch of the button and it gives you a reading in top of the eyepiece. The range is 21 yards to 800 yards. This scope was really made for rifles but works great for me. My dead-on crosshairs are set for 25 yards. Each mark below that is +5 yards up to 40 yards. My set up is the scope set on 4 power, ff string, and shooting 2216's. No more looking through a range finder and then moving to look though you scope. It's all built together. Almost forgot, hold the button down and it is in continuous scan mode. That's what I had to do on this Buck, he would not stop walking. Hope this helps!

Trx480Ryan, I paid $550.00 for a Refurbished scope. It's a 1st GEN. model 200110. The newer ones are different and they cost about $899.00. If you consider what a good scope plus buying a rangefinder would cost it's not that bad. The BURRIS 1st GEN. model was the only one I could find that would range down to 21 yards. The other brands would only go down to 30. Wish someone would make a laser rangefinder scope only for crossbows that would go down as low as 10 yards. Hope this helps!
