Default Crossbow scope

Hi all. I'm not a crossbow hunter, but my Grandpa is, and I'm looking for some information for him. He had a crossbow, but sold it after the 2006 season because he was having trouble getting in/out of his stand (he's 84). He couldn'tstandit and by Thanksgiving he had bought a new crossbow and was dying to get out. Problem is that he can't see through his new 3 dot scope very well and would like to go back to a scope with crosshairs. Red dots are ok, but only if their with good crosshairs. Any suggestions? He's pretty old-school, $100is a lot of money to him. Magnification isn't important, but maybe a 4X would be nice. Thanks much!

Welcome to the Forum, you can get a excalibur varizone scope for $89.00 + postage at Bowhunters Superstore and its well worth the money.

Can you explain what you mean by "can't see through"?

Thanks all! He was so excited he jumped in the car and made the 3 hr. trip to go see through one himself. I hope I have that kind of enthusiasm (and am still alive!) at his age.
