Ego Vs PM5

[ego]

Hi

Well atm i have an ego and going to trade it for a PM5. I just want to know what are the pro's and con's and know what would i get out my PM5 than I would'nt get out of my ego.
Things that i have noticed about the ego since using it.

> Extremely light
> Very Reliable
> Very Quick
> Easy Maintenance
> Not to bulky, nice and neat for snap shots
> Accurate

Those are the few things that i have noticed about the ego since buying it not to long ago.
Now what am i going to expect from the PM5? Similar specs? Any down sides?

Thanks

I've owned both and I'd stick with the Ego personally. The PM5 is nice, but needs a good few upgrades to make it on a level with the Ego.

What if the PM5 had:
> Hybird Grips
> CP trigger
> Virtue Board
> CP oops

Would it match a stock ego?

Would still need a new bolt and feedneck in my opinion. Best thing to do is try one and see if you like it. I tried one after the Ego and it just couldn't compete.

Hmmm

Well i tried a PM5 the other day and really liked it, but then i really liek the ego too...

Lol!

It's all aout personal preference. I think the Ego is better made than the PM5 (that's why it cost more new) and has better UK support (sorry to and Dye fans but it's true!). But if you prefer the PM5 go for it

A timmy costs more new and isn't more reliable.

That's because Bob Long rips us off

What you need is an ultralite frame on the pm5, then your in heaven

Yes mikey, that would be my next move once i get it, see how it goes on the stock bolt etc.
