Shawn, this model comes with a Factory mounted and bore sighted Bushnell Banner 3-9x40 scope. It is adequate but, you can certainly do better.

Shawn, The Axis XPs have come with several different 3x9 scopes. Many have the Bushnell Banner. Some have the Crossfire II. Some have Weaver Kaspa. Some have some other brands. They are all about $150 scopes. None of the scopes are appreciably better then the other. Search the UPC of the individual rifle and you should get an idea. I have in the Axis XP line 6.5 CR with Bushnell Banner, 270 WIN with Weaver Kaspa and the .308 model with Vortex Crossfire II. Buy this rifle for the rifle. Most owners eventually replace the factory optics on these Axis XP rifle/scope combinations. All the scopes are serviceable and will work for hunting.

It comes with a Vortex Crossfire. It is a decent scope. That you certainly can use it well. but what are you going to use the rifle for? Let that information guide you in deciding to replace or stay with it..

The reviews say Weaver.
