RE: Riffe or Ocean Rhino???
I would try others peoples guns, because everyone is different in what they like. Since you are willing to spend the money to get exactly what you want the first time around,definately try a few.
But you are doing it right by getting the gun you will be happy for forever instead of the first cheapest thing you can find, and then ending up trying to sell it to get what you really want.
Either gun will work for you. Some peole like Chad (TONER) don't like reloading the riffe. It has a learning curve. After you get familiar with it though, it takes about 5 to 10 seconds more than a gun with a muzzle, so it depends how important that time is to you.
Also, are you a big guy that is going to power your gun up with thicker and/or shorter bands. If so, a solid stock gun like the riffe, or the new rhino. The old rhinos were just hopped up sea hornets/ billers, which had the same "stress" point as all Billers and JBL's. Where the wood stock is screwed into the handle flexes a little as your pulling back thick short bands.
I would go up there to MBT and talk to Jim (Evensplit) or any one up there and compare there different guns they have if you havent already.
They have riffe, billers, I think they still have a new Ocean Rhino, and they have a new solid stock JBL. Will give you a good idea of em.
I do gotta say though that new Ocean Rhino looks to be the shizz... and on spearboard there is nothing but good reviews for it.
Now you just gotta figure out what size to get!
