Same thing with Xbows really, for top shelf performance. You can put a $70 scope on a 2K crossbow & I'll shoot fair......or put a 2K scope on a $400 crossbow & get pretty decent results.
Best of course is about a 3.5K set up that rocks in any & all conditions. But who can afford that.......LOL.......
I don't agree on the comparison. Rifle scopes have to deal with magnification, clarity and parallax. Being a short range implement, those factors are less critical on a crossbow. I want good but sure not gonna stick on a $1000 scope to shoot 40 yards. Actually, I have yet to shoot at a deer past 30.
