Pretty much, but with a camo rail. Hmmm. Could you put a 400 Suppressor riser assembly on the front of a 340TD rail? And if so, who's done it already? Come on, own up to it. :lol: Boo?

I bet you're right too. You'd probably be well over 350fps and beyond my goal, which is a bow I could still rope cock without chance of a hernia.
If I get really bored :wtf: , I'll swap front ends of the 400 and the 360 and chrono the slow bow.
Bored yet?
Nope, not yet. I'm busy! Come over and I'll let you do it. :eusa-popcorn:

Perfection to me would be a Micro 350 TD Suppressor in Realtree Timber. Full camo rail with the skeletonized stock like on the Max/Axe 340 but equip it with the limbs off of the 400 model and the TACT-100 scope. You'd get the better trigger, but lose the trigger linkage required for the Bullpup stocks. It would be a practically bulletproof setup and unlike the Micro 400, some folks would be able to cock it without requiring a crank. Think of it as the Matrix 350 SE/LE equivalent for Micro line-up though it probably wouldn't be sold at that same price point. As an option, offer it with the TACT-100 scope and crank or without either for those who plan to customize it right out of the box anyway.

If I had three less bows I'd buy one. :lol:
So basically you want a 340TD with a 400Suppressor riser assembly snapped on. I think your be a bit faster than 350 tho.

The answer: 365 fps.
And you can cock it without getting a hernia. Well, at least a few times.

Next question. The rail on your 340TD, is it long enough for the stock on the 400TD to fit it?
Specifically, how close or past would the riser joint be to the end of the stock?

Nope. 400TD rail is 14" and the stock ends squared up with the rail. The 340TD rail is ~13-3/8" long, so it would be a bit short for the stock.
But I wouldn't want the 400TD stock anyway since I prefer the lightweight skeleton stock and trigger that doesn't require linkage.

Thanks for measuring, I appreciate that. I prefer Stryker stock, but in this case, it wouldn't work
