The Hawke XB1 1.5-5x32 SR is a 1.5-5×32 SFP scope on a 1-inch tube with a XB1 SR reticle, illuminated and 0.5 MOA clicks. Across its range the exit pupil runs from an estimated 21.3 mm down to 6.4 mm at 5×, where the twilight factor is 12.6. Its elevation travel is 9th-most of the 53 scopes here that publish one, at 120 MOA (about 120 MOA).

Twilight factor: 12.6 at 5×
Zoom ratio: 3.3×

Exit pupil and twilight factor are computed from the published magnification and objective diameter, not measured. Real exit pupil is also capped by the erector at low magnification, and coatings and glass quality move low-light performance in ways the formula cannot see — read these as comparisons between layouts, not verdicts on scopes.

For it, on paper

+ Speed-calibrated SR reticle for 250-425 fps crossbows
+ 8.3 in and 13 oz - one of the lightest illuminated crossbow scopes available
+ 5-level red and green reticle illumination
+ 1-inch tube uses common, inexpensive rings
+ Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty

Against it, on paper

− Fixed 50 yd parallax cannot be adjusted for very close or long shots
− 1/2 MOA clicks are coarser than the 1/4 MOA of most rifle scopes
− Calibrated speed range tops out at 425 fps, so the fastest current crossbows exceed its reticle calibration
− 75 ft field of view at 1.5x is narrower than the wide-angle XB30 Compact (87.9 ft)
