Question about a tightbore barrel and a scope

[iBrowniee x]

Thinking of buying a rifle scope for my M416 but not sure if to or not. Ive got a G&P enforcer (m416) and put a Pro win hop up unit in it and I'm going to get a madbull black python version 2 tightbore barrel. Would the tightbore barrel up my accuracy that much that it's worth buying a rifle scope if so what type.( not a ACOG).

Only my own personal opinion....

Rifle scope - nope it ain't a dmr

TBB - sod madbull a zci one I'd rather buy

if your fps is a little down - say 330 & site is 350 plus you aren't 101% with current performance

then go for a modest tbb like zci - aprox £20-ish, fps should creep up a little say 15fps-ish

different buckings can make a big difference especially if fitted good or badly fitted

look to reduce any barrel wobble & that is all you can do unless you go to next stage of r-hop

(which I haven't got into yet so can't advise)

anything left over - get decent .25's

one other thing you could consider is another hop and getting a longer tbb with a 4" barrel extension

son's 416 has a 407 zci in it with a barrel extension

the hop is optional but you "could" keep old 300mm barrel n hop

then swap longer barrel/hop over in a minute with the outer extension for woodland

swap back to shorter 300mm for indoor/cqb stuff

ooh now you are confused what to consider

Honestly go for the Steel bull barrel instead of the python -it's much better construction wise.

Neither of the madbull barrels are much cop.

Prommy or Pdi if you dont mind the cost or as Duck said get the Zci if you want a cheaper option.

A scope might come in handy, depending how you play. A fixed 4x with backup irons suits me perfectly when I use my G5 because I can see the trajectory of my bb all the way to the target, allowing me to adjust my aim rather quickly. And with a GBBR, I don't have the option to shove a high-cap in there and hose down an area with full auto

Don't write off a scope just because it's a 350fps AEG, your play style makes more difference

Pdi barrel and r hop (amongst other things) have transformed my g36 it'll lift .30's to the moon but R hopping is s royal pain in the ass to get perfect

As for scope in a non dmr

These are awesome

now that I've thought about it I prefer sprinting from the start and get proper up there so I think I've changed my mind about a zoomed scope
