We have had a Vortex, Axiom SMF, Micro 355, Micro 340, 308 Short (turned 327), and a BD417 in the family. Between my dad, brother and I, the 308 Short is everyone's favorite. They're just awesome, especially if you like a short LOP.

There's actually a Bulldog 400 rail, stock, and bd trigger group for sale on AT right now on AT for a very fair price. Anyone with an Ibex, Phoenix, or Axiom that did this would gain a little speed and be more compact. Or with a Vixen 2 gain even more speed, lose a little overall length, but gain a ...

We had good luck with the Innerloc Carnage on multiple turkey last spring. The 3 blade 1.5" diameter cuts a pretty good sized hole, and the arrow wrap opens the blades extremely easy on impact. We could tell the blades were fully deployed on the entrance side through feathers it pushed up again...

That bow is amazing. I especially love the 5" bullpup.

Was the stock cut from laminate?

Save your pictures for future reference, then bolt em on and send arrows down range. Those are definite flaws, but they are under the compressed bolted and washer area and I can't imagine that being a reliability issue. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong though.

Something's not adding up there. The rail on this micro is 16.5 and uses the same stock as a BD360. you can see the riser joint is pretty much even with the front end of the stock, making the stock "pocket" approx 13.5" give or take a few. Looks like 17~" would be to the riser j...

17.250" or 17-1/4"

Awesome, thanks! That must be very back of rail right up to where it meets the riser, correct?

Tyler, I have been really interested in a 6mmARC ever since the articles started coming out. Looks to me like a great cartridge for the AR platform. Now I want to heat all about it. Sadly I haven't even fired a single round through my ARC yet. I finished building it right around firearm season open...

2020: Bought the wife an Axiom SMF Found the brother a killer deal on a Micro 355 Bought a rail and riser to finish Dad's custom Micro 340 Built a 6mm ARC, my first ever AR Sold wife's Axiom SMF Bought Marcel's BD400 More active than I've been in the prior 10 years combined :) And 2021 I'll be savin...

Tyler great idea! Not other than Excalibur crossbow give us the opportunity to mix parts like that! Customizing xbows is one of the best relaxing hobby for me because that conjures up the spirit of the hunt! Marcel Yep I'm liking every minute of this newfound hobby. Don't worry though Marcel, I've ...

Very cool Tyler. I am getting ready to build a slow bow just for shooting the Magnus Bullhead. First I have to finish a couple house and garage projects. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hatchet I built my BD310, which I sold earlier this year, to shoot bullheads. But unfortunately something Shine...

Thanks, Merry Christmas as well!

Part of buying Marcel's BD400 recently involved me also selling my wife's Axiom SMF to a relative, to help cover the funds. I've had my Vortex forever, but no matter how much I shorten the rope, the wife was unable to get the last 1/4" to 1/2". Which is why we decided to get the Axiom when...

My opinion, focus your excalibur search on models with a shorter LOP since she is only 5'5". It's a lot easier to put a stock extender on a short LOP than it is to shorten a long one. So that narrows your choices down to the 308 Short, Matrix Sapphire, and Vixen 2, I believe.
