The one that came with my Killer Instinct x-bow is garbage. I can only hunt fields at first and last light with it. Any recommendations on what to get? I'd rather keep it under $300.

I put a red dot on it the other day. I'm going to shoot it at various ranges this weekend and see how it goes. I keep my shots within 40 yards, and 405fps allows me to dead hold out to 30.

I’ve seen people put the vortex strike eagles on there too. It’s a fantastic scope for the money, I run one on my 450 upper

I put a vortex Crossfire II 2-7-32 on my Killer Instinct but I have not shot the X-bow one single time since I purchased it. My brother has the same scope on his X-bow and loves it.

I bought a Nikon pro crossbow scope in 2019, not sure if they still sell. Seems like it was around 175

Got that one on my bow. It’s nice, I’ve killed a few with it.

I have a NIB ravin crossbow scope for sale if interested. You can do no illumination. Also, red or green at various brightness settings.

Went shooting today. The red dot is fine out to 30 yards, which is farther than I can shoot at most spots this bow season.

I took my Nikon 3-9x with a BDC reticle off my deer rifle. It worked great on my x-bow out to 60. I'll probably go back and forth between the two depending on the situation.

The Nikon isn't an ideal x-bow scope, and I doubt I'll ever use 9x. I've had good experience in low light and like the BDC reticle though... I now have an excuse to get a new scope for my deer rifle! Just bought a Trijicon Credo 4-16x for $599. Eurooptic told me I saved $944. I would have never heard about the sale if it wasn't for this forum.

This is your answer. I have one once you get the speed ring dialed in to your bow and with the scopes reticle you will be able to shoot on target to 70+yards. It’s a fine optic for a xbow
