-all three are somewhat similar, one advantage being with the auto modes on the other two. Both of the guns (my friends own them) each have broken in some way, but mine hasn't yet. Overall I like mine the best (not trying to be biased -well, yeah, I kind of am). |

IDK, depends how much into it you are. I'd say maybe a new bolt, the stock one's kind of heavy and it really does scratch on top. A new barrel would be alright too since you can't shoot through a break with the stock one. The J&J preforms wonderfully on this gun by the way. |

| Review: |
This marker is pretty much amazing. I got to play with it in the field today (after a week of clicking it) and I loved it.
Barrel: Alright but not too great (of course every stock barrel is not great) I recommend a 14" J&J but that's just me.
Eyes: Have never failed me and always work
Feedneck: Clamps your hopper on so tight you can hold your gun up by the hopper and shake it and it won't come off. (Maybe I wouldn't recommend trying that).
Expansion Chamber: Nice. I don't know about the outward fore grip, but I like it and I think most other people like it too. It's different and it's sexy.
Regulator: Pretty nice, won't leak even if you take it out (a problem on most spyders)
Dropfoward: Dead sexy plus if moves your bottle up a long ways. Also features a cut-out for your burst disk.
ASA: Some people say that you need a new one, but I really haven't had any trouble with mine so far.
Trigger: Wobbles side to side and has way to much play. I'll try to upload some of my trigger mods in the near future to help you out.
Grips: Nice rubber wrap-around, keeps you comfortable.
Bolt: Scratches very easily, but no problems so far.
Velocity adjuster: Easy to regulate and has a nice tourney lock screw on it.
LCD Screen: Nice and easy to navigate but hard to read in sunlight. Actually it's pretty much impossible, but I think you'll be able to memorize how to turn it on.
I think that's about it. Definitely the best marker in it's class and well-worth the money. And, if you don't want to pay $185 for one wait for Actionvillage to get some in so you can buy for $140. Alright, my fingers are tired, hope I was meticulous enough for you. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it. I was just like you, reading these reviews, and finally decided to get it. It's worth it and you won't regret it. Hope I help and mark it as helpful if it is. |
