Ravin LR Review:
Built Like A Long-Range Rifle
Inspired by modern long-range rifles, the LR is built for downrange accuracy out to 135 yards — 450 FPS, 180 foot-pounds of kinetic energy, and it ships fully assembled, hunt-ready, with a scope already mounted.

The Ravin LR is built around one goal: rifle-like accuracy at distance. It has a longer profile than the rest of Ravin's lineup for better balance and reduced recoil, a silent cocking system, and an adjustable cheek comb and stock for a custom fit — putting arrows downrange at 450 FPS with 180 foot-pounds of kinetic energy, and holding accuracy out to 135 yards. Unlike most of Ravin's lineup, it isn't sold as a bare crossbow — it comes as a complete, hunt-ready package.
Ravin LR
Fully assembled and hunt-ready out of the box, with a full-length Picatinny rail supporting the included 1-8x24 adjustable-turret scope. Built for hunters who want long-range-rifle-style precision in a crossbow, without buying and mounting accessories separately.

Is the Ravin LR Worth It?
At $2,549.99 the LR isn't cheap, but it's genuinely a different value proposition than the rest of the lineup — you're not paying for the crossbow alone, you're paying for a complete long-range setup: scope, rest, quiver, draw handle, and arrows all included and matched to the bow. If you'd otherwise be buying an Adjustable Turret Scope ($649.99) and a quiver, rest, and draw handle separately on top of a base crossbow, the LR's all-in price is more competitive than it first looks. If you don't need the extended 135-yard range, the R500 platform is faster (500 FPS) for less money.
