Gun size

So I bought a ocean rhino rx5 for use primarily in the gulf. Did I get too big of a gun or am I ok?

Re: Gun size

I doubt I'll go out into the blue water out of the gates. Maybe down the road. So mainly for inshore and some offshore use.

Re: Gun size

How long is it from butt to tip? In inches.

Re: Gun size

52", just right for wrecks and rigs.

Re: Gun size

Push comes to shove, an RX4 vs an RX5, the difference is only about 5". Does that make that much difference anyway?

Re: Gun size

I think you'll get used to the length and be glad you got the longer one. Personally I've used the RX4 and 5 in the gulf and I like the 5 better.
