Yes I have one on my Axiom and I love it ! Bright and crisp like all Nikon optics . If I end up with trouble with my Tac zone it will end up on my Matrix.

Actually with the Nikon scopes all you have do is out the info into the spot on application on the nikon website and it will tell you what yard ages the aim points are set for. I don't have the bolt but I use some of the bdc scopes on my rifle and it works the same way. They are Very accurate once you have it dialed in and you can't bump it off by moving the speed ring(magnification). If it was a good deal I would say jump on it, you won't be disappointed.

The Nikon XR is an excellent compact fixed power crossbow scope.

X2- I had one for a while, played around with it, nice scope. For the new price you can find a used Leupold on ebay. Hard to compete with that.

I have the Bolt Xr mounted on my Equinox. This scope is compact, light, excellent glass and very accurate after you get it dialed in.

Absolutely, I've actually never owned a Nikon scope. I only use Leupold scopes myself, but the little Nikon is a nice upgrade for someone wanting a compact fixed power crossbow scope.
