The only bow I have that hasn’t had limb issues is my Dad’s old IBEX, so I will go with that one.

I had my personal favourite Excalibur made to my preferences 8)

The only model I coveted that I have not owned is a BD 400, that would be my choice for a bone stock Excalibur.

I agree their is no one model in a way. As long as the model is in a 380 Matrix. Lynx or Mad Max, never had a realtree model, but I'm sure vit would work as good as the ones I prefer. Prefer is just a choice, but the 380 is right in the middle of the sweet spot,

not to fast not to slow
not to wide not to narrow
not to long not to short
for cocking not the heaviest but not the lightest
I've owned about every Excalibur before it and after until about 3 years ago, I got tiered of buying new and selling them when I found already founf the best bow Excalibur ever made, just pick any model in the 380 Matrix and you wont go wrong!

Did you wrap the scope on the Lynx or is the snow camo on the optics factory?

I’ve yet to handle an Excalibur crossbow I didn’t like. They are all class acts. I will have to be noncommittal here and say they are all improvements of their predecessors but any are excellent performers.

My old Exomax still send arrows through deer like a hot knife through butter!! I am still amazed how quickly someone can become an accurate shooter with it. It’s a shooters dream platform.

My brothers Matrix 380 is also very easy to get aquatinted with.

That was my doing, I did have a Vortex XBR dipped, got moisture in the inside. But as Vortex claims lifetime warranty and wont ask how it happened, they covered it 100% resealed and good as new!
