Product Overview

I recently had the chance to try out the Hawke XB1 Vari Speed SR IR Crossbow Scope and I am very impressed with its performance. This scope is designed for crossbow hunting and provides outstanding clarity with its 11 layer fully multicoated optics.

The 1 inch monotube chassis is exceptionally robust, designed to withstand the heavy crossbow recoil. Furthermore, it has a speed adjuster which matches the bow speed from 250 fps to 425 fps for accurate reticle calibration. Additionally, it features an illuminated glass etched XB1 SR reticle that provides 10 yard aim points from a 20 yard zero out to 100 yards, along with bracketing of 4 or 8 inches and aim marks measuring 1.5 inches across at the corresponding distances.

I found this scope to be easy to install and use in the field. The instructions provided were clear and straightforward, making it easy for even novice shooters to set up their scope quickly and accurately. Additionally, I found the illuminated reticle incredibly useful in low light conditions, making it easier for me to take aim at my target in the dark.

Overall, I highly recommend the Hawke XB1 Vari Speed SR IR Crossbow Scope for anyone looking for an accurate and reliable scope for their crossbow hunting trips. Its well made, easy to use, and provides great accuracy and clarity when aiming at a target. Furthermore, its also reasonably priced considering all its features making it a great value for money option as well.
