| Review: |
For about three months now I've used the newer boss progressive and have noticed unique characteristics. One it has a unique and consistent flight pattern. Two, nice and quiet for stealthy and sneaky situations. Three, accuracy remains fairly consistent in rapid fire.
I bought this barrel for 35 bucks. with the extra I saved I was able to purchase a reloader and new bolt. after buying I fired it in my backyard a few times (safely though) and noticed that this barrel bolt combo matched preety well. at about 75ft i shot 10 times into a 8 in circle and only one shot land outside of it. also the barrel was amazingly quiet even with the psi turned way up. shooting at the local field I was able to gog three people off the break (there's that accuracy again). Also, I was able to easily flank and eliminate two other players who couldn't figure out where shots came from after they were shot out (quiet). and in a situation I should have avoided (a six on 3 game with my friends) i was able to fire without a chop in rapid firing situation against three of the other team. |

| Conclusion: |
In conclusion I find that this is an excellent barrel for a low to mid budget player. Expect great things from it and even greater if you can match the barrel with a bolt like I did. While it's no boomy or freak it shoots like one, but because it isn't it gets a nine. |
