Buddy of mine was looking to buy one also. He said the factory weight was 11 pounds. He did shoot it through a chronograph, and it registered 426 fps all 3 times he shot it. It does have a 3 dot scope as mentioned before, but I'm not sure what kind. Also as mentioned, it's a crank only to cock the string and is 175# of draw weight. He said it is a very long Xbow, probably 40 inches. He hasn't made up his mind about buying one yet. My advice was to go with one of the tried and true Xbow manufacturers, who have already proven their Xbows. Let us know what you decide!
