I just fired this one and the r29 back to back at a 20 yard target. Both are fast as holy shit. That being said the “recoil” of the r26 was less. Slightly but i could tell a difference. I absolutely loved the size of it though. I have been debating between this one, the r29, and Tenpoint viper s400 and tenpoint vengent s440. I like the cocking on the tenpoint much more but i like virtually everything else about the Ravin’s more. Update: Not that anyone asked but....after weighing the pros and cons i opted for the R26 and ordered it.

2 years later what's your opinion? I'm currently looking at the r26s now

Great job on this review! I think the most impressive modification on the R 26 is the fact that the scope mount is now fully secured, front and back! Even on the R 29's they are cantilevered and stick way out unsupported! BTW, Bass Pro and Cabela's are featuring them now at $500 off so around $1599, which is quite a deal!

You can draw back the crossbow without the clicking noise by depressing the thumb button at the base of the stock

That thing is SICK!

You would think for a high end crossbow they would have gotten rid of that clicking noise on the crank when cranking. Excalibur and tenpoint have done it already and a cheaper crossbow.

10 months later I know... I'm researching this because I found one for sale used. Apparently you can hold the button in the back while cranking and that allows you to crank silently.

I would say if you can’t afford 26 the r-10 is 1300.00 Longer but shoots the same

The BERETTA of Crossbows.

I have hunted with one a friend loaned me .loved it nothing better lighter faster or more expensive either lol. The only thing i HATE about it is the loud clicking of the crank system if u miss u can forget a second shot . Sounds like playing cards in a bicycle wheel ... wish they would fix this otherwise its an amazing bow

Do your research firs, it has silent cooking system

Is it something you would recommend for use against zombies or would the bolt just go through their heads?

Sir,may I know the price of this crossbow

I have the Mission (MXB 400) but I'm seriously considering adding to my arsenal. This looks like the real deal.

I Plan to buy this bow. Some things I've noticed and I'm sure the deer will are the flashy metal pieces... Marker would fix this but then there's smell factor. Any suggestions? And the rollers... The one looks to have a hanger off it and it's brand new. Are they replaceable? what kind of manufacture warranty comes with this bow?

I don't believe they came out with a newer R26, just the R29X and R29X Sniper. Goes off of R20 sniper. So basically silent crank and speed are only main difference. And 3 inches longer than yours. You get best bang for buck

340 pound draw weight on that thing is insanely STUPID. With that weight, that little string and TINY cables plus only 400 grain arrows......no wonder they're having issues with strings, cables, and limbs.
