Excalibur crossbows

[Talon]

Well since you're determined to go the Excalibur route I won't suggest the benefits of lower cost bows .
The Weihrauch 80 is a superb choice , it's heavy when scoped but I find that helps.The only things I'd suggest is get the HW80k in .22 with open sights and a good quality one piece mount for your scope . A moderator on a spring gun doesn't offset the benefits of having backup iron sights in my opinion , they're much more effective on pre charged rifles,and weihrauch open sights are superb . I'd also suggest for shooting irons get the HW77 rear sight . It'll give you a longer sight radius . As I'm sure you're aware the 80 is still the benchmark for higher power tuning in spring rifles. Some can go higher like a Diana 52 but I prefer break barrel simplicity.

There's a wealth of information on tuning the 80 . I would also purchase an export rated spring to keep tucked away in the drawer( I'm not suggesting you fit it as its a 5 year sentence if you don't have it on ticket) . It's pretty sluggish when restricted to our 12ftlb limit as its really a 20ftlb + rifle. It would be my desert island air rifle of choice.
And get a Mossberg 2+1 .
