I really like Excalibur xbows. No cams or cables to deal with, easy to change or adjust strings without a press, plenty fast and extremely accurate. They're available with the mechanical cocker also.
Stainless 10/22 with Zytel boat paddle stock, metal trigger group. All original. Has a Simmons 4x scope mounted on it. Ruger website dates it at 1997. Excellent condition. PM if interested.
I have 3 different Browning Abolts ,7mag, 30-06 , .270wsm. Honestly, I can't tell the difference in recoil between any of them. That's just me, but I also have several 7mm-08's and they are all way , way more mild.
I saw where some of the Marvin's building supply stores in Alabama had them on sale for a couple hundred bucks off retail. Maybe better for multiple units. I'd be in for one also.
