    freestyle or devilmag?

    like the title says, throw down opinions here.
    that said i love mags, but the freestyles look awesome
    both are about 850
    both have breakbeam eyes
    freestyle > devmag in looks
    devilmag has a slightly faster board, i think
    i know mags operation, have had 2 before
    devmag> freestyle in reliability
    i use a qloader and a devilmag could have a warp breech, which would be nice
    soon the devilmag will have a vert frame, which i like.
    they are about equal in weight at about 1.8 lbs with a reg and barrel on the FS, maybe more but
    both are super light
    both are faily inefficient, but i dont really care


    so all in all what do you guys think?

    Devilmag all the way. The freestyle tends to have a lot of probs and needs major tuning out of the box. Ive shot a few of them and didnt like them at all. Mags are by far more reliable as well. As for looks i think the freestyle is one fugly chunk of aluminum.

        seems like u got most of the pros and cons. ide go devil mag looks are debateable but i really cant say the freestyle is appealing to me and seems like their fairly tied ide say the chocie is up to U. but for pure reliability ide go mag

              Go with a mag, they are way better than freestyles.

                freestyle voters speak up!
                well the only edge i see that the mag has over the style is relibility (big plus)
                the only advantage i see that the FS has over the mag is its quieter, and looks better (2 small plusses), at least better than that fugly devilmag in the vids and pics, but if i sent in a logicrail, got the vert frame thats pending, and got it with matching blue warp ule and xvalve, it would probably look just as good as the style, and might be lighter
                im leaning towards the mag if none of the style voters can convince me otherwise
                there is a 4 week or so waiting list for the devilmags though but thats not THAT bad

                  I almost bought both these guns before I saw the light and bought my Viking . Anyway, I'd go with the DevilMag. You have most of the pros and cons down except for 2 major ones(at least major to me), the DevilMag comes stock with a kick arse aftermarket board and a super light switch, this would make it easier to shoot faster out of the box. For the older Freestyles you can get the Chaos board, but for the newer ones they changed em a bit and as of now there is no aftermarket board available and we all know that aftermarket boards are always better than stock. You can get a lighter switch for the Freestyles also. So you will have to spend the extra money for an aftermarket board and lighter switch for the Freestyle if you want it at the level of ease of getting speed that the DevilMag is at. Was that long enough?

                    "both have breakbeam eyes " (matt-O)

                    Can a warp ULE body have break beam eyes? To my understanding, Break beam eyes require an eye/receiver on each side of the breach. But with the warp feedneck coming out one of those sides....where would the other half of the eye system go?

                    I may be wrong, just trying to bring it to your attention in case it is a deciding factor in your purchase.

                    Anyway, I say rock the devilmag

                      You are correct, with a warp breech you couldn't run breakbeam unless you did some serious modding.

                        i was informed by ga devil that it could be done, dont ask how, im assuming one would be mounted like on an xmag then one would be on top, but more cord would be hanging off of the body, i havnt seen one but was informed by him its possible
