Decent deal. I recently bought a R10 shot very little with Ravin sling, Ravin limb silencers, Ravin serving lube, a dozen Ravin .003 arrows, Munchmount crank handle relocator, quiver and scope for $850 shipped.
Ravin R10 .... this a good deal?
So I have an acquaintance that has a Ravin R10 that he bought brand new in July or August. He shot it 6 times at the dealer. Now it is sitting in the box still wrapped from the dealer. He is willing to sell to me for $900 for the crossbow and everything it came with. $850 for the bow and rest in shipping and fees. It is unregistered as well.
So what do you guys think? A week before the ATA show, is this a good deal? Should I hold off? What would you do? I do not "need" it at this time. Just if it is too good to pass up, then I will get it!!
Thanks,

It's a great deal but I'd still hold off for a week to see what Ravin is introducing for 2020.
Looks like from the Ravin facebook pics, the R10 is still available for 2020 but I would bet they'll have an electric crank system. I imagine if it's not an electric crank, it's an electric jackplate because they are showing a lithium ion battery warning label on their shipping boxes.
Of course, this is just a guess but we will see very soon.

I would hold off and see what is at ATA, and it is a fair deal but may not be after the ATA. Your only talking a week and you may regret getting it because something better is right over the horizon.
That lithium ion warning label could be for the scope battery maybe.It's a great deal but I'd still hold off for a week to see what Ravin is introducing for 2020.

Dude I’d buy that. Just do it. Especially if it’s the camo version. That’s a deal right there. The flagship Ravin bows for 2020 will be ball breaking expensive.
The battery is for the scope I thought.....that's a pretty good deal for an r10! If you don't want it ask how much for it shipped to Canada
A lithium ion battery would only be used in a scope if the scope required more power than required to illuminate reticles. In other words, a night scope or a ATN like scope with integrated video or better yet, a scope with a built-in rangefinder would need the extra power that lithium ion batteries can easily provide.
If money is no object wait but you will pay over twice that for the new Ravin 2020 latest and greatest.

I'd wait I think it will depreciate
the r10 is a great bow. I would buy that.
Lol I would too. Did you end up buying it? Is it the camo version??
No doubt a good deal for a R10...last year's R29 was $2500! What you got over the R10 was 4" shorter, and 30 fps faster.
No sir. Ended up buying a completely different bow. Went with an Excalibur. Multiple different reasons. One thing I loved about the Excal was that it is near indestructible and I can change strings in the field.

Which Excal did you get?
Good decision IMO.
Good decision IMO.
Went with the Micro Suppressor! It is beautiful, fast, accurate and just what I was looking for!

I would buy It- I paid $1050.00 for a brand new one in Nov. and that was a deal. It's a great crossbow!
