I've got a scepter and a longbow. I use the longbow way more often.

I'm with wyn on this. Although I don't have one, I did get to really look one over at Skyball. Let me tell you, the internal bore's finish is extrordinary. So much so, they've patened the finish "hard bore technology" or something of that sort. The great thing about the longbow is that the mag version is milled for all three feed types(LF/RF/CF) If I had the money, I would definately get one of these...

Honestly, it IS personal preference. HOWEVER, three of the guys on my team are running the Sceptre and I will run it on my Xmag in a month or so.

I like the looks and I have seen the performance first hand.

Blazingace is going to run the Evil Pipe on his Xmag/Xtreme Depot body.

Longbow, by far. We have been shooting them with excellent results.

I have a Longbow on my Viking and like it a lot. The anno matches the finish perfectly.

Are you telling me you have an adapter that allows you to put a Pipe on your twist and lock mag?

Please elaborate, I would love to try out a Pipe or a Sceptre on my RTP.

Doc Nickel makes adapters for autococker to automag barrel adapters. Great idea saying that the twist aand lock is slowy fading away(pissing me off!). www.docsmachine.com

The longbow is sweet sweet!

A team mate uses one. He used it at skyball and the thing was amazing. The Matte Black anno tips I tried on my micromag at the booth matched perfect! and looked very nice.

If I had the cash I would have picked one up there, but it was a bit out of my price range.
