HELP! YOOPER_MAN OR NIKON BOLT USERS

Post by bubba »

I have a Nikon xr bolt on the way. Need to know if my standard scope rings that came with my Ibex work? I have heard yes and no. I will probably need 2 or three inches of the scope behind the rear of my bow so I can get the right eye relief, at least that's what I have now with the standard Ibex scope and rings.Help an old crossbow rookie out (smile) bubba

I've got the Nikon Bolt on all my crossbows, and never gotten low rings to work. I've had to use medium height rings.

Here is the Nikon scope mounted on my Equinox using medium Weaver 1" rings. This scope has a 3" to 4" eye relief.

I've heard medium rings are needed for the Nikon bolt XR scope. Everyone else put you on the right path.
