RE: crossbow scopes?
lo -
Well, if you think about it...why not just give it a try ?!
I've tried several different sights and scopes on my different crossbows attempting to find which sight/scope I like on which bow.
If you don't like it...you take it off and try another...!
It's not like you are welding them on.
I've got a shot gun scope on one of my bows, I like that one there, but I probably would not put it on other bows.

There's other companies doing reticule conversions, but I'm not familiar w/ them.

RE: crossbow scopes?
The real key are the multiple aiming points. That is why a crossbow scope is nice. With a Lumizone or Varizone, those multiple aiming points are able to be adjusted with the power ring. In addition, it is nice to have your turrets set up for a crossbow. I think my varizone turrets are 1/2 " at 20 yards per click. As you can see that is much coarser that a riflescope's turrets.There is just something easier to me about adjusting 2 clicks vs. 16 with a 1/4@100 riflescope.

The Hawke scope is getting a lot of chatter lately on another site.

I use a Cabelas pine ridge black powder 2 by 7 with the diamond, dead on at 25 yards and the bottom of the diamond is dead on at 35 yards which is my limit. Very nice scope, works good for me.
