My son has a Horton Vision 175. We have received the secon scope from them . The one that came with it the lights did not work. this one can not be adjusted any farther to the right. Will any cross bow scope work?

Regardless of whether or not any scope will work, I'd still contact Horton and explain your issue. The crossbow should not be so far off that you run out of adjustment...in any direction. Horton may ask you to have the new scope mounted at a dealer for them to check out. I believe Tips in West Creek is a Horton dealer...no one better to take it to if needed.

In answer to your question...I believe any scope should work. That being said...I'd consider a scope from Hawke. They make scopes for Parker and Winchester. For a reasonable price, they provide quality optics....not Swarovski or Zeiss quality...but are a very good value for the money.

No idea where they're made.....it does not alter the fact that they are good scopes for the money

Check your mount on the rings to the base Some times they are adjustable and can be reset to the right or left. Had this problem on a couple of rifles its an easy fix .if it hits to the right losen bothfront and back brakets that sit on the monting rail . Tighten the left side first in the front then do the right first on the back if they're adjustable there will be adjustments on both sides. hope this helps it can drive you nuts if you don't know about the adjustments .Good luck let us know if thats the problem .:)

You can put any scope on it. I have a friend who has a 4X rifle scope on his Excalibre. Works fine.
