We had 5 speed adjustable scopes at one time. I can sell you one if you like. All new and unused.
My wife JOAD shooter, state champion and staff writer/shooter for savage arms hates them.
I find them crap as well. It's just hard to throw something in the garbage, that you paid for or got for free.
Seriously... Hit me up. CHEAP!!

 

Thanks for the reply. Can you explain why your wife hates them and you think they are crap? I’m seriously looking for reasons why they are liked or disliked. Then I hope to make a decision about tying one; maybe one of yours.

 

only 60 yards? What bow are you shooting... I use fixed power , depends on speed of bow. At 300fps. my redhot scope works perfect. I only shoot live animals 30 yard max... Ron

 

I meant that I only hunt, no target competition, and I can’t imagine shooting a deer farther than 60 yards. So far haven’t shot past 30 yards. My bow is CenterPoint Tormentor Whisper 380. Speed with hunting arrows is 340 FPS.

 

What brand you got to sell Lever Action?

I love the speed adjustable scopes.

 

A good share of crossbow shooters do....

 

I hunt only and 40 yards is about as far as I’m going to take one so a speed ring is no big deal to me. Just one more thing to dink with when a shot presents itself. If I was more of a target shooter I suspect that would change

 

A speed ring is not something you have "dink" with when the shot presents itself. You set it to the crossbow's advertised speed, dial it in at 20 yards, fine tune it at 40 yards with the speed ring and forget it. Once you get it set, it works essentially like a fixed power scope because you after that there's no need to touch the speed/power adjustment unless you change to a different weight arrow.

 

Speed rings let you adjust for the arrow trajectory when changing the weight of your arrows or changing your bow. When arrow trajectory changes, the speed ring can be adjusted to compensate. You can't do thsat with a fixed power.

 

The adjustable power/speed ring scope essentially becomes a "fixed" power scope once the proper setting is found. It is adjustable when "things" change.

 

All said, the speed ring is nice though. With it you can essentially get your scope hitting on all even yardages whereas with fixed it is where it is. This means with a variable scope you can get your crosshairs zero at 20, 30, 40 , etc. yards but with fixed it may fall out at 20, then 28, then 36, then 45, etc.

 

Not sure but Lever Action could be referring to the lenses in a variable scope “getting a snitch out of alignment/focus” as they traverse back and forth during different magnifications - not as a speed ring to sync different crossbow trajectories .

The lenses in a fixed scope stay “planted” in place much better, not sure about moving lens assemblies.

Another thing with variable scopes is the variable eye relief - if you have an exact cheek weld that you like this could mess with you somewhat.

I just bought a tact zone scope and have it mounted but not sited in yet.

 

I like my XB30 adjustable.

Got it dialed in so that I know each mark is at exactly 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 yds. There might be more marks than that on it, I don't remember because I never shoot past 50.

I would not want to have to figure out and then remember the exact yardage of each mark on a fixed scope.​

 

Thanks for all your comments and thoughts.
