Mega
.22LR
I am about to be a new 715T owner. Both versions are in stock where I am going to buy it. But I can't decide which to get.
Here are what I view as the advantages of each (but feel free to correct any bad assumptions I may be making)
Advantages of handle:
Advantages of flat top:
Also pertinent information may be that I plan to add a front grip that doubles as a bipod, an active illuminated scope, and a green laser.
Here are what I view as the advantages of each (but feel free to correct any bad assumptions I may be making)
Advantages of handle:
- Longer barrel (more accurate?)
- Front sight is farther from rear (for extra aiming accuracy)
- Longer front rails (can mount more goodies)
- Can still use iron sights with scope mounted on handle (is this true?)
- Cheaper price (why?)
Advantages of flat top:
- Can still add a handle (so technically more options)
- More optics choices (rail mount and/or handle mount)
- Scope would be less distance specific (because it would be closer to the barrel)
- Flash suppressor (silly on a .22 but means barrel is threaded for other attachment options)
