07 Borg

sniper97 · 05-22-2009, 11:22 PM

Hey, I have a couple of Viking (02 Stock/blind Viking and a 03 JMJ Smooth FL Viking) and am considering picking up a 07 Borg...are they a huge pain? How do they compare to a Viking?

What do you guys think?

I've never owned a viking, but I can comment on the Macdev. When properly tuned (very easy to do), it will be:

1. efficient - 8-10 pods and a hopper off a 45/4500.
2. Consisitant- 5-8 fps spread on a 10 shot string with good paint
3. forgiving on paint- I frequently go several cases without breaking a ball.
4. reliable- a quick wipe down and relube for the ram and wipe down for the bolt is really all that is needed every couple of cases.
5. It can take the Tadao Yakuza OLED board- money well spent

The biggest problem I've had with the two cyborgs I've owned has been that they are so fun to shoot that I shoot too much paint. The only real issues I've ever had with mine were self-inflicted, and easily corrected.

Two thumbs up on this gun. Mine was a champ.

Much lighter then your vikings.
Very efficient, but not quite as efficient then your viking.
consistency is nearly identical.
Easy to care for
In my opinion just as reliable.
I had to be very careful at tourneys with refs around mine was very fast and got checked for ramping at nearly every tourny I had it at. Never had a penalty but refs were always suspicious.
I have owned Vikings and cyborgs and love them both to death if you like your viks you will like the cyborg just as much

Loving my droid and my cousins newly acquired 07 borg. I gotta say, that 07 borg has basically zero kick... it's ridiculous.

Seriously. What? Hate? These parts? What the heck is he talking about?

I have an 07 Borg and love it. What's drg's issue?
