We ended up with an Excalibur. The crossbow is great. We spent the morning shooting today and like was mentioned, hit two bolts with a second shot that was too close.
But the scope that came with the kit is horrible. I don't expect a kit scope to be great, but I'd be ashamed to send this thing out of the factory. This morning the ocular (I guess that's what it is...the screw on part by your eye) and the mount both shot loose. I had checked everything before we started shooting to make sure it was all locked down tight. So about a 1/4 of our shooting was chasing a zero after the scope messed up.
But aside from that we're very happy with it.

Blue, You talking about the lock ring? Is it the varizone?
When you have an issue with the lock ring you can find where it needs to be set for focus, loosen the ocular, tighten the lock ring as tight as you can, then grab the ocular, hold the lock ring, and bare down on the ocular until it gets to the proper position. It's the best way I've found to really lock them down.
I have the varizone on one of my rigs and find it to be a pretty decent scope.

I don't know what model it is. It's only marked "Excalibur" and "2.5x32".
The glass appears to be clear and bright. It was just frustrating to have to rezero, twice, due to scope issues. It looks like some loctite on the rings / base are in order.

Put a red dot or a reflex sight on it Blue. I've used both on my Excalibur and I like the reflex a bit better.
