Equinox questions

Post by deadeer »

Looking at a used Equinox. Supposedly 2012 version, 23 shots, too much for guy to handle, has crank a roo, A1 shape. Shot it and it is fine. Question is, it does not have a camo rail or S5 suppressors. Otherwise it was a package setup. He bought it that way and has reciepts for the purchase. He is asking $650, just trying to recoup some money for another purchase. What do you guys think? I like it but want to make sure. Thanks.

I bought mine in 2010, and it has the camo rail, not sure why it has the dark rail, I'm sure there will be somebody on here that can explain that better than me !! as for the price thats a good price as i give almost $900.00 for my Equinox package. Good Luck with your purchase..

I bought my Equinox from a Excalibur dealer in 2012 and it has a full camo rail and S5 system.

I also bought my Equinox from a Excalibur dealer but in early 2011 and it had a full camo rail and riser with a S5 system.

Price wise it's appears to be a fair deal.

That said, regarding year of manufacture, a bit of trivia; the Exomax was first manufactured in 2005. Up until 2008 it came with an anodized grey mainframe/rail. Since 2009 it came with the camo mainframe.

So unless this one is a "hybrid" (i.e. has mix and matched components) it's not a 2012.

2013 New stock bows. Have a look.
I would speculate that they are offering them this way as a low cost package compared to the full camo.
