    well you say weight isn't really an issue
    but I would beg to differ some
    as what I mean by weight is when your shouldering the weapon, where the weight is at, can make or break how comfortable it is to hold
    and like I said before
    the reverse limb X bows, are the ONLY one's on the market that doesn't have so much weight far away from the shooter, meaning them balance the weight more towards your shoulder, keping a TON of less weight way out there
    and even when you carry the x bow on a sling, they do not be top heavy
    you might not be walking far, but you will still be firing it from the shoulder,
    just something to consider
    and as for hawk scopes
    never really heard of them, and the Arrows,well, sure they are great, but odds are there not needed
    to be accurate with an X bow
    and sure Easton's bolts are petty straight as well
    Factory packages are proven to hold up, thsu why they sell so many
    NOT saying an aftermarket item cannot be of better quality
    But I know for a fact on SCopes, , many makers use different hash lines/reticle's, so a Factory one is most likely to sight in the most accurate with the hash lines on "X" ranges"
    and AN X bow might make more recoil/vibrations, than a rifle scope can handle
    its like Air guns, they have to be build a special way, as a just a high end rifle scope on an air gun, the air gun can chew up a scope that would last for yrs on a magnum rifle
    its different apples to apples on air gun to rifles recoil/vibrations
    and possibly the same deal on X bow
    thus another reason to maybe stick with a OEM scope?
    just food for thought
