Need help with a used RIFFE

[elaw837]

Hey All,

I'm looking at a few guns for my first purchase. A used RIFFE Metal Tech series #2 or a RA 110 both sold with reels. Any thoughts on these, previous experience with them? My next question is if these should be my first gun or should i go with a wood JBL (newer model with better trigger mech) or even a used RIFFE.

Thanks!

Are you freediving? If so the RA 100%. If your blowing bubbles the metal tech will sink which may be nice if you need to set it down.

I'm freediving. So cal waters so everyone seems to like a 90-110 size. My buddy has the newer jbl woody magnum 42 I think and I like that gun but I guess I'm curious if the rail guns (ja or mako) have any advantages over a wood. I can find that jbl for about $280 or so. The ja or mako will run about $240-250.

Thoughts?

Freediving hands down the RA.

Thanks guys. Just out of curiosity. How does the Cressi Geronimo compare to an RA?

I've owned the RA 110 and it's a great SO Cal gun
