Ravin scopes are built on a simple premise, stated plainly on the company’s own optics page: durable, high quality glass, easy eye placement, and the ability to calibrate the reticle to the exact speed of your crossbow. That last part is the whole trick, because a 500 fps bow and a 400 fps bow need different aiming points at every distance past the first, and the Ravin system lets the shooter dial the optic to the bow rather than guessing halfway.
The catalog splits into a few clear tiers. The standard bearer is the 100-Yard Illuminated line, in 450 FPS and 550 FPS calibrations at $369.99 each, with reticle aim points from 20 to 100 yards, red and green illumination and weatherproof housing. Above them sit the Speed Lock versions of the same two calibrations at $469.99, adding the locking ring that keeps your fps adjustment fixed through season abuse. The hunter who wants the dial-to-distance experience without electronics has the 1-8×24 Adjustable Turret Scope at $749.99, single crosshair, elevation turret, included sight tapes.
At the top of the stack is the Garmin-built Xero X1i, the integrated rangefinding scope customized for Ravin at $1,399.99, which measures the distance and places the aim point in the same glance. And for hunters in jurisdictions where magnified optics are restricted, or those who simply prefer both eyes open, there are the two reflex sights, the Single Dot at $149.99 and the 3 Dot at $199.99.
The supporting cast is easy to underestimate: the RAVIN 1200 Laser Rangefinder at $399.99 for shooters who keep their existing glass, the Scope Level and Riser Level for keeping cant out of long shots, replacement scope caps, rings and turret tapes for keeping older optics in service.
The honest summary of the lineup is that every Ravin bow ships with a scope that works, and the catalog exists for the moment you want the glass to do more, whether that means locking a calibration, dialing a yardage or ranging on its own. Prices move with promotions, so the official page is the final word on today’s numbers.
