HEY JERRY HAVE YOU GOT ANY PICTURES OF IT YOU CAN POST UP MATE. REGARDS FRANK
It's not here right now Blackjack. It's at a gunsmith friend's. He's going to drill a hole in the stock for a Crank-a-roo. I'm just waiting for Bill T. to send me the template. When I get it back I'll take some pictures and post them.

I figure yer meaning 97-98, as the vixen started in 95 & its been a great model
Nope, it's definitely from the '87-'89 era. I bought it when I was working in Lindsay and I left there in 1990. I know it was later than 1986 because I had my '87 Dodge Dakota, which I bought in the summer of '87. I'm sure it was one of the very early ones. Maybe it's a collector's item! :D

If you bought it in the late 1980's then you have a Wolverine not a Vixen. The Vixen didn't come out until much later.

1995 is when the 1st model vixen were produced by Excal they had the rear safety. If'en you have a vixen fron from the late 80's then i am wrong & so apoligize to all that i have given wrong & poor information to on this Forum.

:) Okay here is the rundown as far as we could remember . We introduced the Exocet 1992 , the Vixen 1993 . Then the Exomag either 94 or 95 . :)
