The first and only euro gun I would ever own.

Saw this over in the gun section. I had to post a link in the Cali section for those of you that don’t get around much…hehe

Rick at AimRite just made the ultimate euro gun. Build like a tank and big enough to take one out too.

You haven't actually seen one or touched one yet. Isn't this a bit premature?

Well, let’s just say that I was privileged enough to learn a lot about the gun build and testing from the beginning. Remember there’s a “Mori Option”…. 72” 5/16 threaded shaft with a euro notch and three mini tabs. That’s a 6 foot shaft!

I spoke to Rick about it several times and my impression was that he wanted to overbuild a euro gun to make a true “blue water” euro gun that would shoot perfectly (accurate, without recoil) and last forever. It’s 6 pounds of solid carbon fiber, stainless steel trigger mechanism, coated cable shooting line. IMO the only thing that even makes it a euro is it’s a rear handle and it takes a euro notch shaft.

This is not some tube barrel euro gun with a closed muzzle or some plastic attachment build in china made for beginners to shoot reef fish until they graduate to a “real gun”. This IS a “real gun” made for taking big pelagics. I want one, Mori wants one. The thing is a beast, period
