I need to upgrade from my Seac Bolt 95. It has been through the war with me. I would like to move up to a 110-120cm gun. I love the euro style grip. My gun floats when shaft is out. I will be targeting fish in the 8-10kg class. Mostly jacks. The hardest problem for me is that there is no local spearos to get info from. I live in a remote area. Being rather new to the sport has lead me to read and glean from others on many topics. I would like some advice on what gun to buy for next season. The more i read about what gun is best for certain situations the more confused i get. Most opinions and personal preferences dont help me. I will say that i am leaning toward a RA or a HH. Apart from the spec sheet differences are there any major issues that would steer me toward one or the other? I know its hard to tell.
For myself and the place i live work and play is remote. No access to spart parts. When i order this gun it could take 4-6 months to get. My Seac has been reliable. I need a new best friend to be RELIABLE. Thanks for any input and advice.
 
You might also consider a MAKO gun. I sell all my gear direct, so elimination of the retail store and the associated mark up may be very beneficial to you- especially since it sounds like you will be ordering a gun and gear.

I won't go through a whole discussion, however this link may give you some good ideas about features and attributes which you should consider when buying a gun.
