Re: Bear !!!!!!

Re: Excalibur Satification???

I am extremely pleased with my vortex, and happy that I can't comment on their customer service or warranty claim process. But from everything I have read, I am impressed and hope that when Bill and Cathy pass on the torch that the new owners and decision makers continue to deliver the same.

Re: Excalibur STS

"Hi,
