Does anyone know if you can order say a Legacy or a Patriot with 70-80 lb. limbs? Is it expensive?

No, You can't get them for the Patriot... Can't answer for the Legacy...

RE: 70-80 Lb. Limbs
I can answer it....I e-mailed them and asked them the same thing (wanted a Pro38 w/ 80#) and they said the ONLY bow they will do it for is the Samson. The tech I talked to said that it is the only bow designed to handle the added stress.

RE: 70-80 Lb. Limbs
Rangeball,
I agree that I don't "need" 80 lbs., however, not to boast or sound like I'm blowing my own horn, I am a big guy. 6'2" about 260. I have several 70 lb bows maxed out and their are very easy for me to draw. So, I would like to play around with somthing a litttle stouter, mainly for experimentation. Another thing that I am sure is eggin me on is that I know of a group of big fellas that do a lot of hog hunting and they have similar setups, Older PSE's and such, 80+ lbs., and I have seen the results of these things. They are blowing arrows completely through on direct shulder hits. It's pretty impressive. Again, I know it's not a must, but I would like to do some experimenting. Particularly with one of these real quiet bows because I think the extra pounds is bound to increase the noise level a little.

There are all sorts of ways to have fun in archery. I have 40 lb, 60 lb, and 70 lb bows, am thinking of getting one of the Bowtech Solos in 80 lb - just for the physical pleasure of shooting it. For hunting though I use the 60 lb bow.

The BowTech Samson is offered in 80-90-100 lb. peak weights...
Plenty of poundage and the 2003's will have VFT parallel limb design similar to the Patriot...
Just what the doctor ordered....
