It seems every time I thought I had my mind made up I would read something else and change my mind. I think the price I got and the lighted reticle is what finally won me with the Hawke. I like the idea of the lighted reticle. I talked to Dave from Wyvern's and got a pretty good deal on the scope and a set of rings. Thanks for all of the info from everyone.

Obsessed maybe... "insane" is just a little harsh...paulaboutform wrote:... anything that INSANE hunter swears by is certainly worth taking a close look at.
Never even looked through a Vortex scope, but do have a pair of their binoc's I like. Crossbones was the flag I flew (and still have) on many a craft - as for the scope... I dunno...
I think a large part of it boils down to just what you're doing with your bow. I understand that even better accuracy might be achieved with an Optimizer and a dedicated crosshair. But how many times am I going to be able to witness a 120 lb dog blow the set-up off the roof of a forty-five gallon barrel, land on the forward leading edge of the scope on solid decking, and maintain zero
Mine HAS to. Apparently I can occasionally be a tad harsh on my equipment...
The Hawke I have is no longer produced I believe. It was their XB 30 Compact. A shame - I would latch onto another. The Pro is likely a little longer version I'd guess? Pretty clear this one, Chevrons are good enough out to range, and she lights up in two colors with a wide range of intensity when it's approaching too late. And, she does take one hell of a beatin' and keep on tickin'...
Great Choice IMHO!

Recently installed the Hawke XB30 Pro on my Matrix 350. Can't wait to hunt with it.
Re: xb 30 pro vs crossbones
Just got my new Hawke mounted on the 350. Haven't had a chance to shoot with it yet, but I do think I'm really going to like lighted reticle.
