Your opinion please
Opinions are like noses, everybody has one and they are all different. I would like to pick your opinion on which you would choose for the same price- an SMX ibex nearly new or a two year old aluminum rail Ibex with the disipator bars on front. Both look new. Which would you choose and why. Thanks

Re: Your opinion please
I have a alum. Axiom my hunting partner has a SMF Axiom they both shoot the same . His was around $100 less ,so if your choices are the same price I would say the alum. is the better buy.

Re: Your opinion please
The Ibex SMF was my first crossbow. I got another, a Vortex so my dad could shoot with me, from the bargain cave at cabelas. I thought I'd like the aluminum rail more, but I prefer the SMF.
