RE: Excalibur Exocet 200
The good thing about the Excalibur line of crossbows is that most parts are the same for each bow. Also with the parts which are different, if you swap them out with another, then your bow becomes that other model (200 lb exomag - standard riser changed to forward riser becomes Exommax, shooting rails are of different sizes, longer for more powerful bow. ect).
The stocks are all inter changable, the question would be could you get your hands onto a thumbhole stock so you can make the change. Also the limbs are the same for all newer bows.
Hope this helps.

Gotta hand it to Bill, he'd rather sell new bows than new stocks, lol. I'm 99.9% sure I'm right on this, but would welcome a correction if you find different info than I have.

Well, Tom, gotta disagree w/ you on this one. Until they brought out the Vortex and Equinox, you were correct. The new thumbhole stocks won't fit the other rails, only the ones that come w/ the two new bows. Gotta hand it to Bill, he'd rather sell new bows than new stocks, lol.

Well I could be wrong but if my memory is working correctly, last January I read that someone in the office told a member of the Excal site that the only difference in the bows (vortex & exocet) was the thumbhole stock. I did check with someone else, and he told me that he believed that there was some difference in the placement of the trigger mechinism of the two bows that the stocks are not interchangable. I still think that my memory was correct, but that does not mean I was correct since the info I was talking about was prerelease info.
Sorry if I created some confussion.

RE: Excalibur Exocet 200
Well, since you pop in here from time to time, don't miss all your wisdom that you shared there. Glad to read your posts somewhere. And, you're right again, hard to improve on an Excal!!
