Default RE: Riffe or Ocean Rhino???

I've got three guns, a 42 biller, a RifeC2x and a 50" Spearfishing Specialties(bought them all at MBT). Ilike the SS the best. It not only reloads faster but due to it's lenght and bans, has more range and power. Whatever gun you get, I would recommend getting thebiggest one you can reload (which is a function of your arm lenght) because the lenght andban size are what gives the gun it's power and range and if you start out fairly small like I did with the biller, you'll soon want to upgrade. I started taking longer shots and taking bigger fish when I got the 50" SS. Fish don't get big because they're stupid and usually won't hang around to give you a perfect shot. Usuallythey're swimming away from youand you only havea second or two to take the shot so, in most circumstances, I thinkrange and power are the most importantfactors.

Default RE: Riffe or Ocean Rhino???

My final decision came down to either the Riffe #4 or the Ocean Rhino RX 4. Decided on the Ocean Rhino and ordered it from Dive Pro. DP matched the lowest internet price that I could find. I added the kill kit with the muzzle kill spike, grip "T" spike and the spare shaft holder. Will add the third band too. Was watching Speargun Hunter and loved how they had mounted a small dive light on the muzzle kill spike. Perfect for looking under ledges or in holes. I liked the feel of the Ocean Rhino, especially the shape of the grip and the thickness of the trigger; twice the thickness of the JBL or AB Biller. Ocean Rhino RX4 just felt better in my hand than the Riffe. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.
