Barnett Crossbows is proud to announce that its Hyper Raptor BCX crossbow with BUK OPS X-Factor range finding scope has been recognized by Field & Stream as the Best Value Crossbow in its recent gear roundup, praising its performance, technology, value, and versatility.

In Field & Stream’s annual crossbow test, the Hyper Raptor BCX stood out for its impressive accuracy, power, and affordability. It was the best broadhead shooter of the test, with both fixed and mechanical models hitting in the same hole as field points.

According to Will Brantley from Field & Stream, “It had a nice, crisp trigger, and... the stock is adjustable for length of pull, and the fore-end has a swing-out pistol grip that could be useful in some hunting situations… The scope also has a battery-operated rangefinder built in… It works, and the yardages matched perfectly with my personal rangefinder… in terms of value—what you get for your money—you can’t beat the new Barnett Hyper Raptor.”

The Hyper Raptor BCX is Barnett’s high-performance Hyper series model, delivering speeds up to 425 FPS with 25% deeper penetration with the .204 small-diameter HyperFlite arrows. Featuring a choice of BUK OPS scope, patented Hyper Raptor step-through riser, TriggerTech trigger, and anti-dry fire safety, the Hyper Raptor BCX offers unmatched value for hunters looking for a powerful, yet affordable crossbow with the latest optics technology.

“In collaboration with Buck Commander, our team engineered the Hyper Raptor BCX with industry-best features and performance, all at a price hunters can feel good about investing their hard-earned money in," said Joe Snatchko, EVP Sales and Brand at Barnett Crossbows. “We are honored to be named Field & Stream’s Best Value Crossbow for 2025.”
