Ive got a lady over on the TenPoint forum asking about this crosbow for her husband.

Woody, I think your best info would come from Randy Wood at the AT forum. He works there. I think that was the model TP had to change the name of because of trade mark difficulies.

Thanks Digger.

I've PMed Randy on the TenPoint forum and so far no answer.

Probably out grilling steaks.

The bow looks like a TenPoint for sure.

I've done some cruising and see references to a Hunter Magnum TenPoint so I guess it is one.

Hunter was the previous company name of TP. Same bow, same product just different name. I asked him about another Hunter model on fleabay a while back. Give him the serial # and he'll tell you when it was made and all.
Looks similar to my Stealth X2. That trigger looking thing behind and below the scope is an adjustment to raise /lower the scope mount. You can use a single dot or cross hair scope and still have range adjustment without holdover. Same on mine. Seems to be on the money. Each click is about 12 yds of range or so. You can lock it down for a regular multi-line scope if you want.

It's interesting that this bow came up for discussion here. I have been looking at xbows for several weeks and a friend at work told me about his TP Hunter. He brought it to work only last week. I wonder if this bow on ebay could be his. He said he wants to sell it. And I think he lives in the Loveland, Ohio area. I may see him tomorrow.

He told me that a Hunter bow would have to be about 6 or 7 yrs. old because Hunter turned into TenPoint sometime in '99 or '00. That bow on ebay looks nice but from what I've learned it's technology is somewhat dated. The price seems to be good but I've heard that shipping on a crossbow is pretty high.

Could be the same bow.

Here is a Ten Point Stealth X2 with an Acudraw on it. Acudraws goes for $200 alone.

Crossbow - Ten Point - Magnum X-2 Ten Point
Performance with an attitude. The MAGNUM X-2, shooting in excess of 300 fps, approaches the speed and power of the STEALTH. It is fluid-imaged in the spectacular NEW Advantage Timber camo and looks identical to its 150-pound partner, the TURBO Extreme. With an efficiently packaged 175-pound draw weight, it delivers with unquestionable authority and accuracy. • Patented 3 1/2 lb. PowerTouch™ trigger assembly set at optimum travel and touch for a crisp, controlled release. Scope not included. $915.00 [66TEN1041]
same bow as the hunter just differant name 175lbs 292 or 302 fps with the proper arrow can't remember for sure. this ad is when they shot it with a 2216 to get the speed and said if you shot less than a 2219 you would void your warrranty.

The stock, trigger and rail assembly is TP. The limbs and riser are made by PSE, or so I've been told by TP people. I've got a Browning Xbow that looks something like that and I was told the same thing. Made by TP & PSE for Browning. But mine does have that nifty Browning logo on it and shoots really well! I mean really well. I drilled a turkey at 40 yds this year with it.
