Thumbs up New Toy Arrived Today

I was toying with the idea of getting another scope for my crossbow after Hawke came out with their new XB30 Compact 1.5-6x56. This one offers reticles (crosshairs) illuminated to 100 yards, a distance I practice at frequently. It also has a larger objective lens than the one currently on my bow.

The one I have now is Hawke's now discontinued XB 30 Compact. It has seen a hell of a lot of abuse, and bears the scars to prove it. Many many fine hunts, taken a lot of game through it, and it has never lost it's zero nor needed any TLC whatsoever. So one can safely assume I rather like their products.

Did a lot of hunting, then finally found a source that beat the hell out of everyone else's prices. By a considerable margin that is! So, took the leap and ordered it.

Arrived today. Going to be mounted tomorrow, and shooting rather soon methinks.
One Happy Camper over here as a consequence!



Here's the digs for anyone interested:

Looks good Matt. I’ve got the Tac-100 on my 440 Bulldog so I’d be interested to see how you like the new Hawke. The Tac-100 is ok but that’s about the best I could say about it.

One of my hunting buddies has the Tac 100 on his 400 Bulldog. The older Hawke is better glass. This new one substantially so IMO.
Letcha know after I shoot it some what my thoughts are...
