Crossbow Scopes · Ranked by CareScore™
fpsMax of 450 or more. The printed high end, or the ceiling the maker names. Vortex sits out — the ring has FPS marks and no two numbers. XB1 sits out at 425. Price still counts.
Who this is for: Shooters whose printed ceiling is 450 fps or more — the fast hunting shelf.

Ranked by the published CareScore v1.1.8 methodology with weights re-tuned for this buyer — June 2026 data.
The Ravin 550. Maker $369.99 (R168). Same holes as the 450 — silent mag, silent window, silent mass. PDP H1 names 550. 30–100 yard reticle. Distinct ceiling, same street.
The long-zoom Compact. Maker $209 (12227). Magnification 2–8. Printed FPS 250–475 — a 225-fps span. 15.3 oz. Live on build morning with low stock, not a 404. Distinct from the 1.5-6 Compact.
The TenPoint 2-8. Maker black $449.99. Magnification 2–8. Printed FPS 380–550. Mass and eye unpublished. Camo is a colorway — Veil / Vektra sit at $499.99 and stay off the receipt.
The TenPoint 2-7. Maker black $299.99. Magnification 2–7×32. Printed FPS 380–505. Mass and eye unpublished. Rings in the box. Camo is a colorway — we encode black.
