Cool Reb! I am glad you are narrowing your choices down. You seemed to do alot of research on this and I and Dnk are looking forward to your anouncement. I like the look of the recurve on the Excals and if I could own two the excal would probally be the second one, Sorry Squirrel, my tunnel has windows. The research should pay off for ya in the end. I just bought a new H&R 204 and it is the first time I really researched a gun before purchase. Most of the time I just go out to the store and buy whats on hand. But the new gun came in the other day and now I am just waiting on the scope and cleaning stuff so I can go out and start shooting.
