The main difference in my opinion is the speed range. The RM 100 goes 380 to 505 fps @ 2-7X. The Evo X goes 300-500 fps and 2-8X. You have more flexibility with the Evo X. You can use it in a bow shooting around 380 fps @ around 4X. The RM 100 would put you @ 2X. What works for your style of hunting? You decide. Other than that you may have a preference of one reticle over the other. My 2 cents.

 

I will probably be between 360-370 with my arrow and broad head. Wonder is this will be an issue since the RM 100 starts at 380?

 

Also considering Hawke XB30 1.5-6 compact or the XB30 2-7 compact

 

Evo is brighter and sharper. Only your own eyes can tell you if the difference is worth the $.

 

I compared 5 different scopes for clarity (during the daytime). "Cheap" ones and more expensive ones. I could not tell the difference. Maybe in low light there may be a difference. I don't think a $100 crossbow scope is much worse than a $200 scope. With riflescopes, the difference between a $200 scope and $1,000 scope may be obvious. But you have to decide whether the $800 is worth it.

 

😲I thought you were going to show the one on fleabay for $67. That’s unreal.

 

I’ve done a lot of scope testing, both crossbow specific and rifle scopes.

Crossbow specific: most have not had proper range spacing past 50-60 yards. The Zeiss XB75 and the MV36 are perfect, but the XB75’s reticle disappears before shooting time is over. The reticle on the MV 36 is a bit too brite on the lowest setting.

The Huskemaw 2 MOA and the Vortex XBR are the best low light scopes I’ve used for crossbows. Each has it’s own advantage and disadvantages. Both can be turret adjustable and are perfect when used that way (the extremely fast Optimizer tapes work well on the turrets). If you hunt until dark, these scopes are the best I’ve found. Even the $$$$‘y Vortex Razor 50 mm 3x15 and the Zeiss Duralyt lighted 2x8 on an Optimizer are not any better. ..

The XBR on a dial-a-range (Optimizer/ Tetra/ Jack Plate) allows turret usage, or dialing a range or mildot usage. The Husky can do the same but no mildots.

For the money, I believe the Husky is difficult to match.

 

If you want the best lowlight scope, test in low light. I set up deer targets against tree lines, etc and test off of a bench at 50-60 yards until black. Each scope is set up ideally for that range, and compared against each other until a shot cannot be made. I keep a tablet on the table recording the times on each scope. I have 2 sets of times for each scope: 1) no longer can make out the rack well & 2) can no longer make the shot ethically.

4 scopes continually virtually tie: 1st place is virtually a tie Husky/XBR, 2nd Razor 3x15 on 6x, 3rd Duralyt lighted on 6-8.

FWIW, I tested the low light capabilities of the 1st gen 10-Pt EvoX. Pretty impressive! Adequately dimable , very fine reticles and excellent low light optical quality. Bet, the latest version is even better.

The Husky is on my primary hunting bow.

 

My TP rangemaster is to me as good as it gets, dots and crosshairs doesn't get any better,the dots are for the most occuring distances encountered and the crosshairs are for when ( say when) the light gathering capabilities to me are exceptional as most of my deer were taken in very dark conditions the deers outline and reticles illuminated were perfect.Now thankfully I have great eyes at 20/15 both that may help, but all in all I love the scope.I personally wouldn't take the Evo -x over the one that came with the bow.

 

Ended up going with the Huskemaw scope. I really like it very clear even in low light. I am a big fan of the single dot reticle. This is my 5th crossbow scope and by far the best I have used. Granted none of the others were high dollar scopes.
I will be ordering another one shortly.

 

Last scope was stock Range Master Pro on my Fury 410. Have the stock scope on my WR Invader X4 is not lighted. Had two stock Barnett scopes. Can't recall the one I bought to replace the Barnett. The Range Master Pro is a pretty decent scope, I just prefer the single reticle on the Husky. Think the Huskemaw is clearer and better in low light. I have the Huskemaw on my new Venom X. Will be ordering another Venom X with same Huskemaw scope. First one was for the wife.

 

While the Husky is a great optic the turret clicks are a game changer for me ,way too loud a wary buck could hear those at 100 yards, easily on a still day. I can drive tacks with the Rangemaster all day,comes down to personal preferences.

 

Honestly I cannot hear the clicks. My wife can hear a mouse fart at 100yds and she could barely hear the clicks. I probably won't touch the turret out to 40yds just hold a bit high.

 

I bought one as well..I wouldn't worry too much about the clicks. I'd say they aren't any louder than turning off your safety?

 

Rangemaster is a really good scope for sure. I just prefer the single dot for hunting.

 

Nothing beats a single dot even in riflescopes,but the Rangemaster gives you the best of both worlds, dots and crosshairs dependent on distance.
