The ********** guns look really nice and seem like a great deal. I just can't see how you can do them that cheap.

Chris Oak · 10-18-2006, 04:14 PM

rabitech stealth 110cm or hammerhead evolution 110cm.

Try a used gun, occasionally there are great deals on some very nice items.

I aggree, I think Larry has one. Anybody else have one? I would like to hear about it. My concern is with the shafts provided(7/64) and how a larger (9/32" recommended only for teak model) shafts in the enclosed track works out. I didn't see anything about a warranty (lifetime?) accuracy or range. Alexander handle on the Tracker series, but how about the trigger, looks cheep. Still looks like saving for a Wong or one of Mori's is a better call. I guess "You get what you pay for" still holds true.

MiguelT · 10-18-2006, 05:49 PM

I use a 48" ss, same as the biller, good guns, accurate and durable, way cheap on ebay too

FishHunter · 10-18-2006, 06:01 PM

Get an aluminum 110cm Aimrite. I just got a 105 cm. and love it. Probley one of the best triggers ever on a railgun and it has a lifetime warranty. 110 is pretty chill to move around in the kelp with. It also has enough power to penetrate most yellowtail and wsb. Mine cost 370 with shipping and had the gun a week after ordering it custom. I think the lifetime warranty is worth the extra dinero.
