I have the chance to swap an extra rifle , about $400-$450 value, I have for one of these crossbows. I'm a newbie and don't know a lot about them. Any help would be welcomed on its pro/cons.

I would go to www.crossbownation.com and poise the question there. I go by speed trap there. A lot of good info and you can probably find the answer. What rifle you swapping? I know that last year, one could have bought the matrix 355 for about $700,if they shopped around.

Excalibur Phoenix is a discontinued model, good crossbow but no longer being manufactured.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I would not swap a firearm for a bow, jmo. What would be the difference of selling the firearm for cash and then taking that same amount of cash and buying a used x-bow?
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

The Matrix line replaced all the Excalibur line except Axiom/Ibex last year. Although their bows have a lifetime warrenty, I would probably not trade. You can find a better deal (check out Excalibur crossbow forum, and other xbow forums).
Generally, archery equipment loses value a lot quicker than rifle stuff. Last years bow model sells at a fraction of new cost. Last years rifle sells for near new price. JMO
Of course if the rifle you have is a Remington 710/770, trade fast!
