Hawk XB1 1.5-5×32 SR

[BHC]

I think this will be the scope I put on my Centerpoint 415.....Anyone here have this model, if you do pros and cons

There isn't a better crossbow scope out there but it's pricey. You can get some great buys on here. These scopes were removed from a stock crossbow for upgrades. I bought the Ravin one for my B/U bow. It's as good as the Hawke.

I was looking at them, let me ask you two questions

1. which Ravin Scope do you get? It seems if I read it right, it can come off various different Ravin models

2. What reticle do they come with?

For the price I believe they are a great buy

They are the most over rated scopes out there, clarity is nowhere near some of the other high end crossbow scopes

Mine was the model that went up to 450 fps. I think the lower end model goes up to 400. You can easily overcome that with a bow that "shoots 415". Even though it says "mixed bag", Dave at Wyvern will work with you. Give him a call and see exactly what he has. He's a good guy.

We are talking crossbow scopes. They have a good reputation. A lot of guys take scopes off  high end bows and put Hawke's on them. I had several. If you opt for a "rifle" scope on your crossbow then it's a different story. It's hard to get the same features as on a true crossbow scope.

The reticle is 20-100 yds. You can see it online if you "google" it.

Yes, for the most part.

The TenPoint Pro-view is one, the Vortex is another and one in a class by itself is the TenPoint EVO-X. Put an EVO up to your eye side by side with a Hawke and you’ll think you’re comparing a Tasco to a Zeiss

Looked up the reticle for the Ravin, very small dots

I would have to agree based on the fact most of them cost around double the price of the Hawke the OP mentioned. I would hope they are "better". The Hawke was the "standard" in crossbow scopes. Now there are much more expensive scopes out there that are probably better but I think most people can learn to live with them for a few hundred dollars less.

I would buy a $70 UTG before another Hawke. It’s all about what you’re looking for I guess
