I need some help here. I have decided to buy a Carter with all the bells and whistles, but I cannot decide what model I want to buy. I see advantages and disadvantages of both, so does anyone have first hand experience with these (I am namely curious about the Mini-Buzzard)?. I would be going all out - all the milling options, custom anno, L-stock, etc.

Here is how I see it:

Buzzard

Heavier +
Arms can rub anno - (I have been told you can use tape to stop this)
Looks cooler in my opinion +
AT if not together entirely - (I would have to get it modified to have a set screw connect the valve to the snub)

Mini-Buzzard

Small - (I have been told it is too small to be used, especially someone of my size)
No collar and set screws so no separation and AT +
No collar, does not look as cool -

Anyone?

Mini Comp..... :P


I would personally go with the mini buzzard from what I've seen, and it doesnt look tons smaller, and my mini comp sure wasnt tiny compared to the regular buzzard I had, and the collar in my opinion was a pain.

p.s. I might be getting a box gun

I will need to decide in the next week before Lauren gives me a call. I want to make sure I get what I want considering the price tag.

I think the Buzzard looks much nicer, but without modification the Mini-Buzzard would be easier to maintain.

P.S. I hate you.



EDIT: I am also undecided on anno. Here are my top choices:

Go with slider trigger whatever you do...

That is the plan. I sold my last Buzzard a month after getting it (bought it used, fortunately) because of the 1.5 trigger.

Agreed, I'm not a fan of the 1.5 triggers either. Haven't had the opportunity to try one of the new ones, but I really like the look of the mini-comps, so I guess I'd suggest you go with a mini-buzzard. Also, are you thinking vert CO2 or back bottle?

I've got a mini-comp that should be done anytime, any reason why you're not considering it? Whatever you do, go with a splash anno or something interesting. Talk to Lauren about the different options for milling and anno, she was quite helpful in my configuration process

I ended up doing cobalt with angel hair charcoal splash. Should be subtle and sexy.

Yea I hate me too sometimes.......lol not

I can't decide box gun or S6, its tough

I really do prefer VSC setups in general. I may eventually get a Mini-Comp w/o a stock, but for now I think I want a VSC Carter w/ stock. That might change, however.

And the plan is for something crazy. I really am going all out, when she asks about milling, my answer will be "yes".

[idkfa]

Hmmm...

the more I look at it, the more I am leaning towards a Mini-Comp. I have a VSC Phantom w/ stock and a stock class Bushmaster w/ stock... I might need to try something different.

I have never been that good at aiming without a stock, but I guess it won't hurt to try? I know I *could* easily get a stock with a Mini-Comp, but it seems to nice the way it is.

So many choices.

EDIT: I said "stock" entirely too many times.
