It is not the Supreme but the standard B riser takedown.

that just looks like the b- handle 60" with # 1 limbs to me. the supreme uses exotic woods. your riser just has the gray imregnated maple and the classic v stripe

Yep, the posters are correct. I have two Supremes, one each in the A and B riser.  I've ordered Rose Oak limbs, due in December for them.

New it was $999 or something like that from 3Rivers.  Last year they'd sell for around $500-600 used, but since Bear stopped making them (they're only making the Supreme now) some guys are trying to sell them for nearly a grand... which is more than I bought a used Supreme for!!!

Bowwild - I'm still waiting to see pics of the Supreme A riser!  :D   How you talked them into that I'll never know!

3rivers Bear bow Info (http://www.3RiversArchery.com/Bows+Recurves+Bear+Recurve+Fred+Takedown+Supreme++Bow_c44_s155_p200_i20960X_product.html)  Shows a bow that looks like that one that they call the supreme.

Sal, the Supreme is listed (by 3Rivers and Bear) as having a zebrawood and rosewood riser with zebrawood veneered limbs.

It looks like this one  :)

The regular Bear T/D were just the impregnated maple. with black glass.

LOL, Sorry I didn't read the info I just knew they had a bow that looked like the one posted.. Let me ask a question, how do the limbs come apart? I haven't seen that type up close so I would like to know.

If you are going to sell, you might want to do it quick. Bear will be offering a new model of this bow in just a few weeks. The value of this particular bow will probably drop when the new ones are out.
Not many liked that grey maple riser.
