? for Bear Experts/Collectors
« on: September 04, 2007, 09:06:00 PM »
I have a chance to trade and or purchase a Bear K mag(I think anyway) 48" 50# from my neighbor. It has a very wide riser, and an almost bulbous grip. The colors are a dark green with a reddish stripe, black glass. It has a few scuffs across the riser, Im guessing from a crested arrow or two. They look as if they would come off easily. The finish is pretty decent with a few "crackles" on the limbs. The upper limb is slighly twisted, and I mean very slightly. Easily fixed Im sure.
I held this bow, I drew this bow back. In short, I think I fell in lust...
Any info you can gleam from my description would be appreciated. I am trading an old wheelie for it possibly, but if that falls through what would be a decent price? Again thanks in advance.

Sounds like a mid-seventies Super Mag. Trade your wheels for it. I dunno about prices. I don't like to think about bows and money with the same brain cell.

Thanks Killdeer. I hear ya. I first saw this bow and told myself to remember the dedcals, serial # etc etc. Drew it back a few times and it all blurred. It does have a stabilizer insert and is drilled and/or tapped for a sight/quiver too....forgot to mention that up above.

sounds like a 70's model Super Mag to me. I would say that its in the price range of $100-$150

48"...bulbous grip?   It's a Supermag, like Killy said.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

Yup once ya get near 28"s it pinches but they are pretty quick little bows and I believe ya do not draw a full 28"s so it should be good for ya. If the compound is more than 5 years old trade him even, if not have him give ya afew bucks and the bow. Shawn
