Super Kodiak Question
« on: February 05, 2010, 09:51:00 PM »
Guys,

I'd really like to find a 70's green futurewood with blue stripe SK. I've been keeping my eyes open in all the usual places but it seems the ones I see don't really have the same green wood as the Kodiak Magnums. Did Bear indeed make a SK with the green Futurewood and a blue stripe and I've just not found one yet?

I'm clearly no expert at this and would appreciate any help you guys could offer.

Thanks,
CJ

I don't thing the Super Kodiak was ever made in green.  Black, tan, grey but not green.

I agree, Don't think the SK was ever offered in the Green Futurewood.

You could look at a Kodiak Hunter they would be 60" and they are quite plentiful in that color combo.

No they did not make a green one that looked like the Kodiak Mag. The 75 and 76, especially the 76 had a handle with a dark green-ish hue to it. The limbs are black. And those are the blue stripe S.K. models.

If I could figure out how to post a picture I have a auction site photo of a 74 red stripe mad from green Futurewood

Maybe the takedowns were in green.  I don't know but I've never seen a green Super Kodiak in my lifetime.

My '76 SK with blue stripe is grey with no greenish hue.  A green SK must be an odd duck.

At least I feel a little better about not being able to find one. I'll just start looking for a blue stripe and not worry so much about the wood color.

What years would the odiak hunters have been made? The ones in Green with the blue stripe of course.

Thanks for all the input guys!

After '72 but in the 70s.  I'm not sure of the year though.

That '70 is just like mine, JCJ, except I camo painted it to hunt this season. No snow down here.    :)

What year would a 60 inch red stripe with red tips and Fascor probably be?  I picked up a LH 50# and I am really impressed with the way it shoots.  I think I want pick up a lighter one and a heavier one if I can find them.

Thanks Yellow Bow.  I thought it was a 73, but I couldn't find any pictures on the web.
