Yeah I think for the time being with me only being relatively new it’s wise to stick my trust M4A1 and I’m having too much fun with it for now but I think long term the goal is to go down the sniper/DMR route. I appreciate the offer though Bear in mind Christoph’s videos aren’t filmed places where he is running sub 500fps either! I’m a fat old man now. I’d rather be sniping than running back to respawn every 5 minutes but there’s a lot to be said for a good AEG fight. Check the DMR rules where you play. This has the potential to be a very disappointing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having held both, there’s no question that that SRS is a much higher quality item in terms of construction. While I think the two adjustment point hop is unnecessary, it performs well. It’s also considerably cheaper than the SSG last time I checked, so you can throw in a nice barrel and R hop and it will shoot as good as anything. People seem to forget that the BB has no idea what it’s being fired out of. They don’t sit in the mag saying “we’re in a novrich gun, so let’s go extra far today”. The BB sees the hop rubber and the barrel. If the FPS is the same, your range is determined by which barrel and bucking combination works best. (Assuming airseal and air volume is equal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids watch his pony cross hair over lay videos and think they too can be a 1337 sniper if they just own his basic rifle. A fool and his money are easily parted. Says a lot about us lot really...

Greg147 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I bought the SSG24. I'm not particularly a fan of Novritsch himself, I haven't really watched many of his videos (apart from when I was deciding whether to buy the gun or not), so it really wasn't a case of 'buying it for the name'. In fact, first thing I did when I opened the package was remove the Novritsch sticker from the case. I respect him for turning a hobby into a paid job, but I'm by no means a fan. The deciding factor for me was adding up a VSR10 and all the upgrades I wanted, and comparing the price to the SSG. They worked out about the same (of course, I wasn't factoring in import costs for the SSG at the time - doh!). Overall I'm happy with it. I use it every game, and hit targets as far as anyone else on the field, sometimes further. And I haven't had to do any tinkering. A lot of people like tinkering, it's part of the fun. I don't. I'm rubbish it at, and the best guns I own are the ones that I haven't opened up. As for comparing it to the SRS, I've never shot an SRS. My only comparison was at RIFT The Ridge, when someone with an SRS (who appeared to be quite experienced) told me I was wasting my time shooting at a group of distant enemies, and that I was well out of range. I politely explained that I'd already hit 6 of them. He didn't believe me, and wouldn't be convinced. Not exactly a water-tight comparison, but it is what it is. So in answer to your questions, my thoughts on it? Good. Value for money? Maybe not if you can get the parts cheaper and put them together well, but the sums I did said for a little bit extra it all comes ready to go. As someone who just wanted an out-of-box hi-end gun, it ticked all the boxes for me and I don't regret buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the price hike from his name being on it, I suspect no. But sniping isn't my game anyway so neither here nor there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
