The offset rail is awesome. very sturdy and allows better comfort when sighting up.
Your hopper is not in your way with this little piece, aswell as your mask not getting in the way of your stock. However, you would be well off to get a raised sight rail aswell, for the weaver mount on this sits rather low to the side. Neck cramps aside, still a very good product.
The main issue i had with it was trying to get it on my crummy flatline shroud. It just doesnt fit. I think i actually have to sell the barrel and shroud and pick up the new quick-thread one.
Conclusion:
Its really nice to have if you dont want to alter your hopper/feed.
Probably not worth the investment if you have an old flatline barrel or if you dont use a stock.
Really good product for what its for. Points lost due to price.
Tippman A-5
6pos car stock
3 pt sling
X7 Hopper
multiple barrels, depending on paint
Strengths:
Allows a good angle of viewing for a red dot or similar sight.
Weaknesses:
Both rails should be Picatinny
Review:
This is a very very solid unit. Fits perfectly to both A-5 and 98c body.
I have a red dot scope mounted on the dovetail rail, the one that is at a 45 degree angle, and a flashlight on the side rail.
The only complaint I have, is that to mount most optics to the dovetail, you will need
to get a dovetail to weaver/picatinny adapter, not too expensive...
