Default Crossbow scope

My brother and dad both have bought Quad 400 packages recently and they are very happy with the bows, but not particularly happy with the scope that came with the package. Can y'all recommend good replacement optics for these bows?

Thanks for your time!

Hawke MAP, best scope for the money ($70) for that speed of bow.

Hawke, Ten Point and Parker scopes seem to be very good.

Sorry can't agree. Red dots in general lack magnification making precise shooting difficult beyond 20 yards. Have to depend on a tiny battery to function, leave it on overnight won't be hunting in the morning. Limited field of view since ocular lens is small. Had several of this particular brand, all went bad. POS!!!

I dont care for Red Dots, just imagine a cold morning and the battery decides to not work. Reticles of some type is whats best in my opinion.

These type of ppl rather have all of us old & disabled Bow Hunters just up & die! I have gotten to where i feel the same way about them. Specially after seeing deer with arrows still stuck in them! I believe if'en i couldn't shoot a Bow no better than that should shoot their shotguns or stay at home!
