Re: non scope sight options

Well I just flip flopped on this. :crazy: Just received an opportunity to do some pest animal culling year round on a large farm, bows only allowed( due to noise and range constraints). I was selling the crossbow as I needed the money, but looks like it will be one of my rifles getting the axe now. 8)

Re: wow what happened while I was gone

Correct and also being a small niche market once its saturated with users, the main way to drive profits is to keep selling new variations to the same folks.

Re: wow what happened while I was gone

Good point. I don't have anything against Excalibur themselves, they are obviously still the best in the industry

non scope sight options

potential buyer for my matrix 380 asked if there were non scope options for them, eg pin type sights. And I was not sure what to tell him? Any ideas?

Re: wow what happened while I was gone

Aside from the 870 and 700(both hold there own mostly by government contract). The list of models released, modified and then discontinued from remington alone is actually far higher than excalibur. Its actually fairly safe to say that the do in fact design a new action every few years. But I'll ag...

Re: wow what happened while I was gone

I like to compare them to pickup trucks. Its not that pickups from the past were no good. They were great, and they always got better. But thats the things, they got better. Doesnt render the older models obsolete, just old . I see them much closer to guns actually. They are a simple mechanism unli...

Re: wow what happened while I was gone

when they add a few inches length , width and about 10 years longevity, calling it a vortex or exo in the process I'll hail it as a good change. :D Until then I wish them luck with their market share goals.

Re: wow what happened while I was gone

ok I guess this is the difference between smaller businesses and corporations. I still miss the exo and vortexes and the sheer longevity they had in the market :) So down to technicalities what are the main limb differences between matrix and bulldog? What isn't my matrix 380 doing that the bulldogs...

Re: Crossbow Security

in Australia we need to have crossbows locked up as they are unfortunately registered like firearms. As I was told on another thread just earlier, taking the riser off is the best way to fit them into regular safes. As a security professional and if you are worried about theft some info that might h...
