Best budget digital night vision scopes for crossbows
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 2, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: DNT Optics ZHD312R ZULUS HD 3-12x — it's the cheapest scope here that actually has a laser rangefinder and a ballistic calculator built in, which is what makes it workable on a crossbow's short, slow trajectory. 3-12x is plenty at crossbow ranges, and the 65 mm eye relief is forgiving on a crossbow rail.
Who the others suit:
- ZULUS 4K Tube-Style — same rangefinder and ballistic engine, but a 4K sensor and 3-24x zoom if you want a clearer picture and more reach.
- AGM Spectrum 4K LRF — the step up in glass and low-light image; buy it if you'll also use it on a rifle.
- AGM Spectrum 4K Mini — lightest, simplest option, but no rangefinder, so you'd pair it with a handheld.
- Equinox X650 — only if budget rules everything; fixed 5x, no rangefinder.
None of these are marketed as crossbow-specific, so check the mount and recoil rating before you buy.
