I bought the Center Point Sniper 370 package a while back and just got it out to sight it in today. Before I bought it, I took heed of reviews stating that the bolts it came with were trash so I bought some better ones; however, I didn't upgrade the scope which reviews also said was trash. They were right. I adjusted it to the point where the elevation nob is so far out that it inadvertently gets adjusted by putting the cap on, and the windage nob can't turn any more left. After all that, I'm still off about 1/2" at 10 yards. All that to say this - what's a good upgrade? I've been reading reviews on amazon about Barnett, Nikon, and Hawke scopes. I definitely want one that does not require a battery to work, but I like the idea of having that added illumination to click on if I want to. Which one do you use and/or recommend? Thanks.

I just put a Redfield crossbow scope on my Mission Sub One there is a guy on EBay selling them for $60 they have been discontinued but for $60 I will chance it very clear and much better in low light than the Hawke it came with the Hawke their top of the line cost me ten minutes of legal shooting light every morning and evening if you can swing it the Sig BDX is awesome I just don’t shoot further than about 30 yards can’t see more than 30 yards most of my stands

That’s reaching out there! I ended up going with a ten point. It’s all zeroed in so now all I have to do is take it to the field.

Sometimes I simply wonder how long would it take for manufacturers to produce thermal vision scopes ( like these: https://www.agmglobalvision.com/ther...-weapon-sights ), to be universal with crossbows, so hunters will be able to buy one scope for both of them. It would make everything much easier.

Sounds like a million dollar idea there.
