Looks- Very nice, especially in black. Looks simple from faraway, but complex up close. Very easy to clean paint off of too.
Reliability- Hybrid makes quality parts, and it comes with a lifetime warranty, so your set.
Maintenance- Just clean and lube. The lifetime Warranty includes servicing, so just send it in to Hybrid for free if it ever needs to be re-timed.
Speed- 10+ bps is SCREAMIN’ for a Mech.
Stock Barrel- Comes with a PHAT barrel, which is all you can ask for in a stock barrel.
Overall feel- Solid feel that makes you not be able to set it down.
Consistency- Comes with a great reg, which means it’s very consistent over the chrono.
Kick- Stock parts are very light, so it does not have a lot of kick. (Little Kick+Consistency+Good Paint to Barrel Match=Accuracy)
Balance- Can balance it on my finger.
Service- All there is to say is Lifetime Warranty
Upgrades- Tons for autocockers, but you don’t really need them unless you plan to go electro.
Efficiency- All autocockers are very efficient if set up right.
Trigger adjustability- Pre and Post Travel Adjustments
Triggers- Pre and Post travel Adjustment, combined with a nice 3-way, equals a very short and light pull.
Weight- THIS IS THE LIGHTEST AUTOCOCKER I HAVE EVER FELT
.
Conclusion:
IMO, THIS IS THE BEST MECHANICAL AUTOCOCKER you can buy for the money. I suggest you go out and buy one right now if you want an autococker. You will need to buy nothing for it, and you have a quality company to back you up.
very nice review, although i normally get into a pissing match with reviewers that use the frase "the best," you used it in a way that is actually not an over statement. nice review.
BTW, I now have 2 of these. This was the prize for getting first in a local tournament (STP Summer Series). I have it for sale for 375$, and it is brand new in box, and has never been fired.
BTW, I wrote this review BEFORE I put it up for sale
The Hybrid Autococker out classes every autococker i've seen in weight, and ergonomics. it's got the smallest three way and block set I've ever known. I'm putting an e-blade on mine, the size of the front block makes it difficult, but it's still very possible and always a good way to go.
