Very nice riser!
I bought the new Fred Bear riser as I had some extra limbs from my 1980's Kodiak Takedown. The limbs fit with a bit of wiggling to set them in place. I bought the "B" riser to match my old riser so with #1 limbs it gives me a 60" bow. So now I have 2 complete bows. Great quality and I like the feel of the newer riser just a bit better than my 1980 version. It's also nice to… read more have the mounts on the riser for a bow quiver. No sound from the limbs as you draw so the bow is as quiet as a one piece recurve. I want to try it with a new set of limbs but the vintage 40 year old 60# and 70# limbs work great.
They do not come with those bushings and we do not have the ability to install them.
It depends on the length of bow you are wanting , the shorter riser can make a 56" or a 60" bow and the longer riser can make a 60" or a 64" bow depending on your limb choice , the shorted bow would be good for hunting situations and the longer bow can be better for target shooting .
They are nearly the same the normal model just does not say 50th anniversary by the medallion.
We are unsure on the time frame at the moment.
Unfortunately Bear Archery lost 4 weeks of production due to COVID19 but we do have them on order.
Bear Archery is not custom building the takedown riser, so I'm afraid the answer is no.
