Re: Which gun to buy

For a 110 just 3 words:
Seatec Gabbiano Elite. In my honest opinion it's the most accurate gun of them all, sold with a reel and 20mm bands.
For a 75:
Omer XXV Gold 75. Smart little gun.

Re: Which gun to buy

I'm a big fan of Omer and I assume that the Cayman HF is a great gun, but having to choose between the 2 my personal preference goes to Gabbiano.
The Cayman has a more ergonomic and "customizable" grip, and a muzzle for 2circular bands, while the Gabbiano Trb Elite has a non customizable grip and an articulated muzzle for just one set of screw in bands.
For anything else, I prefer the Gabbiano.
Strength and sensitivity of the trigger is the same (both first class) but Gabbiano trigger is all stainless steel with no plastic parts.
The shape of the barrell is the same, but Gabbiano has a rubberized barrell making it perfectly balanced (as for buoyancy) and stealthy (no noise when hitting the rocks or the bottom).
Then again: more metal parts, a more solid construction (or at least a more solid look), and how can I say, it looks to me like it's "more gun"...

Re: Which gun to buy

Thanks Spaghetti

I am going to take the plunge and buy a 110 gun on the fall, money has being tight since I bought a boat, also I am trying to squeeze as much as I can from the short Alaskan summer.

I am still leaning towards the omer.

Re: Which gun to buy

If you buy the Omer Cayman HF you can't go wrong cause for sure it's a first class gun under any aspect: best trigger, best barrel, wise handle, good shafts and bands, excellent accessories et cetera. Never heard negative comments so far and many friends of mine are enthusiasts.
I just say that after the technical evaluation comes personal preference (you may call it a "feeling"). If you like it, if you feel some "sex appeal" emanating from the Cayman HF, go get it and enjoy.
