Scopes
I need to replace the dead zone scope on an Excalibur Axe. I haven't hunted in a few years. What's everyone's go to scope? I need something with multiple aimpoints and preferably illuminated. Let's hear it.

Re: Scopes
I have a Twilight Deluxe on one of my Axes and it's a nice scope. Google Wyvern take off scope or call Dave if your looking for a good deal. He usually has a few different scopes available.
Take care

Re: Scopes
I don't know how much you are willing to spend but my go to now is a Sig Sauer BDX 2.5-8x32 scope an a 1400 Kilo Rangefinder that I bought from Cameraland for $450 shipped. You can preset up to 8 aiming points at any distances you want them or let the RF tell your scope the distance and put in an aiming point for you. You can dial 2.5 to 8 power without any change in your POI also.

Re: Scopes
For multiple aiming points I would go with the Tact 100. Or a Vortex crossfire II crossbow scope they seem to get great reviews

Do you need their rangefinder to set those 8 dots?robertyb wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 11:28 amI don't know how much you are willing to spend but my go to now is a Sig Sauer BDX 2.5-8x32 scope an a 1400 Kilo Rangefinder that I bought from Cameraland for $450 shipped.

Re: Scopes
Here's the link to the scope on the Sig website. It looks somewhat promising, but I'd like to know if the electronics/battery goes down what is the outcome. In most situations we would use a crossbow in (hunting and target shooting close to the house and close to a store to get more batteries) the benefits of the this probably outweigh any potential faults. The only other question I have is with only 80 moa travel, it seems like it may limit your range to 60 yards with a slow bow unless the magnification is turned down?Al in Mi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 5:08 pmDo you need their rangefinder to set those 8 dots?robertyb wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 11:28 amI don't know how much you are willing to spend but my go to now is a Sig Sauer BDX 2.5-8x32 scope an a 1400 Kilo Rangefinder that I bought from Cameraland for $450 shipped.

Nope you don't.

Re: Scopes
If you batteries went out on your scope you would just be looking at a normal rifle scope with a single crosshair. Kentucky windage time until you install a new battery.Stab 'em wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 9:10 pmHere's the link to the scope on the Sig website.

Re: Scopes
I have a Nikon crossbow P3 . From what i read its the same as the old bolt except for the turret caps.
I like it well enough i think i may order another to rat hole back before they go extinct.

Re: Scopes
The nikons are discontinued, they got out of the scope business
