AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Shot a SS-25, have plenty of money. Honestly, for $600, I'd either go brass, carter, or a Kapp flame or something if I really wanted a sniper. (With a CCM kit of course, no doubt they are the best).
You're paying a lot for the name, and you don't even get the nicest millings or annos. Once again, damn nice, but not the best bang for the buck
^Your dead wrong there. It's worthy EVERY penny. It's the best open class pump ever made. I'd kill a man before I gave mine up.
You can't really tell people what is and isen't the BEST marker is. I personaly don't like the frame on CCM pumps. a 45 frame would be awsome but as it is I'm not a huge fan.
PErsonaly I'd rather take that $600 and build a nice halfblocked sniper. but that's me.
^Yes, yes I can. I've built many snipers. And if you want to come even close the the light weight, good looks, smoothness, and include an autotrigger your going to spend over $500 (the price for a dust S6).
Plus your supporting the one signifacant company who is making new and inovative pump products (Have you seen their new "economy" pump kit?).
Pump stroke...Second to none, extremely smooth and light.
Efficiency..Out of the box, not great, they tuned for the pump stroke, not efficiency. I got 200ish out of a 22ci on average, after some tuning I am approaching the 400 mark.
Stock barrel is a 2 piece (1 sizer back , usually .690, and a front) Aluminum
Weight (mind you mine has a AKA Sidewinder on it, which is heavier than the CCM reg by an ounce or two)
Maint...Keep your barrel and bolt clean, a drop of oil in the vert ASA every case or so. Clean and lube your reg if your consistency starts to suffer.
SC Upgrades...currently not available, the feed neck threads are proprietary and no one has made a SC feed that will fit them......Yet!
I traded an 05 Speed for one.
Its nice. About the same as my SS25 though, to me.
Hey what about this hitman mod I've been reading about ?
Someone said CCM is working on a replacement plate for the back of the pump
handle that will have the "hitman" 2 finger lever on it.
Davinci is this true ? What are your thoughts on this mod ?
Theres a sniper with a CCM autotrigger kit with the hitman mod on Ebay :
I was hoping CCM would come out with a replacement hitman mod plate for
the SS25 and series 6. Looks pretty useful and cool to me.
What are your thoughts guys ? Anyone shot one of these ?
EDIT: Just called Melissa at CCM. They are working on this mod now.
There are issues with the rod binding up or it would already be out on the market.
Should be selling in 4 weeks or so.

He asked for an opinion. I gave mine. By definition an opinion cannot be wrong.
And I can build a very similar sniper for less than $500. The CCM gripframe is what kills it price wise.
NO, no you can't. Every body has diffrent opinions on markers. Some people prefer nelson style pumps or snipers. I don't like CCM pumps for 2 reasons.
1: The trigger frame
2: The backblock
Now if CCM made a halfblocked pump with a 45* frame, I'd be interested. But as it is I don't like it. I'd rather go out an build one myself. It would be cheaper too because I don't need an auto trigger.

If the S6's really nice trigger frame, and it having a back block, are your biggest complaints then that proves my point.
But let's end this, I can see I rubbed you guys the wrong way. I didn't mean to insult your sniper building skills, I'm sure you can build a sniper that's almost as good as an S6.

Your first sentence doesn't make too much sense... "if the S6's really nice trigger frame..." he's saying it isn't very nice, to him "and back block are you biggest complaints then that proves my point" How does that prove anything? We're dealing with opinion here, again, and once again, you are trying to turn it into fact. So cyrus prefers snipers without a full back block or an unusual trigger frame, thus it proves that for him the S6 is not worth it, if anything.
As for the second part:
I refuse to accept an apoiogy that seems to just try to end an argument with you getting the last, still negative, comment in. If you're going to argue us, don't try to pull a fast one on me.
I can build a sniper better than a S6 for the price, and it's not a matter of skills (screwing parts together is hardly a skill) it's a matter of knowing what you want and buying it, that's it. Like I said, the OP asked for opinions, you cannot claim someone else's opinion is wrong, it logically does not work. The only reason mine is better is because it matches me.
There is no better sniper than the S6. There is no worse. There is just preference. The OP asked about opinions, we expressed ours, stop trying to turn opinion into us looking like we are stating facts. If the S6 is the ideal Sniper for you, GREAT! Go for it! Grab 5! But don't tell us we are wrong for stating that there are better ones for us.
stop throwing a fit about it, I get it, your opinion, ect. I wasn't trying to "pull a fast one" on you.
and on a side note, I was saying that the S6 comes with a really nice trigger frame, I know he was complaining about but it's not something to complain about. Neither is a backblock.
I'll lighten up this thread with another pic,
That's mine, with a 13 cu and a winchester hopper. Even with tank and hopper it's as light as my VSC Phantom.
