I like the old tangers as well as the next guy, but this makes no sense to me at all. You can buy a NIB Hawkeye African with CRF, longer barrel, two stock bolts and probably a better pad for less!

I dont get it.

Oh, I get it. This one is "ULTRA RARE" and not just rare. I'm surprised "SCARCE" wasn't in the description somewhere? LOL. And once again some moronic GB buyer will buy it and bury it in his gun safe never to be seen again until his heirs post it on GB AGAIN after his passing.
 
Time the winner gets it home with shipping, dealer fees and possible taxes on his end, he will be in it well over $2K
It may be worth it to him, but it would not normally go for that amount. I watch for these and a more likely price would be between $800 to $1200, which is still a lot for what it is.
He paid too much.
 
But it’s a .35whelen. I need an expert opinion on the price, let me call a friend.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
