It appears to be exactly the same as the one I posted above except it has blue crosshairs instead of green. I don't really understand how they are trying to say it has a slightly wider range of speeds since you adjust it by increasing magnification and they are both the same power. The FS's don't even really correspond to the crossbow bolts except for speed anyways so even though the scopes work great with FS's, they aren't going to be able to adjust to give you a nice 10 yard per crosshair setup from what I've seen. You'll end up with like around 7 yards per crosshair so it still works the same but it's just not quite as easy to remember. If the price is the same, it's a great scope but since it looks like it's only available in Europe, unless you really want the blue, you will probably be able to get a lot better deal on the scope and shipping with the red/green version.

@DJMatt123, that has not been my experience. If the velocity is set to match the FPS at the tip of the barrel. It has been dead on. I measure it with builder's tape that is 240 feet long (so beyond 80 yards it might be different); but from 0 to 80 yards, the cross hairs have been right on (also used a range finder to confirm).
What was cool was that instead of looking down, I just walked back, look in my scope and fired when I got to what the scope said was 40 yards after a dead on bullseye, (yes, hand held), I looked down at the tape. I was standing on the 122 inch mark. When I used the leupold rangerfinder. I was always to confirm, I was always plus or minus one yard. And when I'd move maybe 6 inches either way, they'd agree (The scope cross hairs and the digital range finder).
All this was done with the Hawke xb30. so I can't speak for their other models but, mine works great!
