The riffe euro is a great reef gun for Laguna. Stock set up is good maybe a little shorter on the bands.

Re: first Gun

Have never heard a bad word said about the riffe euro. A buddy of mine has the euro x in 120cm for Key West. He loves it. Says that the mag track stops the spear from vibrating when tracking which makes it quieter and move smoother through the water. As for bands and shaft, that depends on what you're shooting. The stock setups on most high end guns are pretty well set up for the type of fish that gun is designed to shoot. So long as your doing the type of spearing the gun was designed for, you should be all set.
