Anyone use this scope for a crossbow if so does it a have a reticle for various yardages?

Very heavy, you can site in for 25 yards but no yardage on recticle. Brightness only for cross hair. Bring your sticks.

Scope is too heavy for a crossbow IMO. Although it may work if you can have zero eye relief on your crossbow only one reticle. It is adjustable for brightness only.

I am the wrong person to ask, I have not been lucky with the one I have; I can only use it as a prop or a conversation piece

Yes, it does. The magnifier makes the field of vision very narrow though; like looking through a long pipe. The dot size on the scope is ok for large game or short distances (under 300 feet), but it ruined my chances to take a deer at 500 feet...

Not 100% what it is but, being a shorter range optic it really doesn't come into play. I mounted this scope on my Mosin in a scout style, and just got two deer this last weekend at about 70 yards. It works just fine for its purposes.

I didn't like the adjustable rail system because it made sighting in the scope impossible for me...the rail would move with every shot...so the seller ended up sending me a fixed rail which corrected the sighting problem...I don't know that you can attach the scope without the rail...I know my crossbow also came with a manual fixed iron type sight that I never did attach...don't know if you could try that (don't really need a scope to hit a target 20-25 yards)...you may just have to wait until they open back up.

Yes. I have 2. Excellent scope for M4 platform. It is compact with fast target acquisition BDC IS calibrated to 600 yds w/ 55 grain 5.56x45 ammunition. Remember it is a 3x scope so it is what it is. As good or better than scopes costing much much more BUT it is a battle scope not a target scope.

No, it does not have a reticle. There is a accessory that mounts to rifle that has some type reticle or a dot. It's around $200, I think. I do not have the accessory nor do I know anyone who does. It's for sale on amazon. Hope this helps

Matt, I don't shoot. However I just sighted in a redtail hawk at over 200 yards & watched it grab & peel a digger squirrel for a snack. I paid under $200 for this scope & it is an excellent one for the price. Mary

No, but your crossbow must have a weaver style rail to mount with. I'm not sure why you are asking, but here is some more info- I have one mounted on a ruger 22 pistol, and I can hit a 10" plate at 100 yards with some effort and control, very consistently.

Mine didnt come with a scope. Just regular sites that need to be zeroed in by each user. Great crossbow! Flimsy arrows

it has a 4 power 32 mm scope with 4 crosshair settings tuned to the crossbow you set the top crosshair at 20 and the second will shot at 30 yrds the 3rd at 40yrds etc.

No there not, but I would not recomend buying this scope. I have one and it's crap!! 25 bucks to have the "look" at it!!!

Only the reticle (cross hairs) from the eye piece. The object (view) could not be. I have been told by a friend that some scopes have another adjustment on the other end that adjusts range focus (I'm not sure about that). Honestly, I am not sure if mine was not just defective, or just too cheap for proper focus. I my case I wanted a scope that was useful at a distance that was further than I could simply use open sights. I mean why else buy a scope?

I've been shooting consistent 3-4 inch groupings out to 70 yards, and the bolts penetrate almost all the way through a target rated for 400 fps. However, I got rid of the original scope that came with the crossbow and bought a trijicon xb3 scope.

For the BDC reticles to work properly, the scope needs to be zeroed at 100 yds. That being said, experimentation on your own at different distances may provide other workable solutions.

It magnifies 6x, but you cannot adjust the magnification. It says the effective range is up to 550 yards, but I've never tried that far. I usually scope a trunk of big tree less than 100 yards. It's hard to lock on small trees and I've never tried aiming it at the deer, but I think it's good enough for deer and small game if you aim it at surrounding tree or rock. I know it's not fog proof, and I don't think it's waterproof either.

It works for ME outside. Perhaps your situation will vary. But, I believe it's a decent red / green reticle sight at a reasonable price point.

Yes, it does come with the "Pig-Plex" reticle. It's great! Wonderful scope.
