Is a Viewloader Maxis RG a good gun?

NO, it is a toy.  Don't get those things confused.  That is why the are called markers instead of guns.

I second the Rem 710 for you. Can't go wrong and you can always trade it up in the future if you want, knowing you can get 80% or more of what you invested.  \n\nIt's a great beginner package, good quality and easy to operate and clean. \n\nStart with a bolt action gun. It will shoot better than you....meaning you can practice a lot from a bench rest and work on your shooting skills without dealing with the complexities of a semi-auto. \n\n30.06 is a good calibre. Easy to find and cheap practice ammo and it will serve to hunt just about anything you want in North America. Don't be seduced by any of the Magnum calibres. They are often more than is needed and can be expensive to practice with. They are in my book just "macho toys" for big boys.

i used to be an sporting goods manager at kmart and i would suggest the daisy red rider as a starter. very easy to use and is not to powerful. always have adult supervision to teach responsibility of the firearm. later on i would suggest a benjamin pellet rifle. benjamin is quality.

Rather than try to tell you about a rifle you didn't ask about, I'll tell you about the one you did ask about. I have 2 Bushmasters, the M17S (Bullpup) and the Patrolmans carbine M4A3, I've shot many of the varminters as well. You've made a good decision to get a Bushmaster, their rifles are unsurpassed and their customer service is outstanding. The varminters I've shot will give consistant -1 moa groups at 200 yards with a good scope. I've shot high end .223(Wilson combat) and low end .223 ( saiga) The bushmaster will outperform the saiga and will keep up with and often beat the wilson combat rifles.The varminter is of course an accurised weapon giving you, the shooter, the benefit of years of research done by Bushmaster.I highly recommend the Harris bipod if you plan on doing long distance target shooting. The varminter is by no means a combat rifle, it's intended purpose is highly accurate target shooting and of course, taking care of pesky varmints from a distance.Unlike the lower end .223's intended for combat accuracy, great care is given to each varminter to ensure accuracy and dependability.

Try a Springfield XD in 9mm. I have one in .45 acp and love it. I have put 4000 rounds through it in a month and hasn't failed yet. I have tried every type of round I can get my hands on and have yet to have a failure to feed or a misfire. Springfield has several different combinatios, 3" subcompact, 4" inch and 5" inch barrel lenghts. Every one has a built in accesory rail. In which many other manufatures cost extra for that feature. Just a little advice. Gunbroker.com has several auctions for they many configurations for under $500.

The PGP is one of the most reliable side arms ever made.  \n\nI'm currently using Armotech Zeus\n\nsome other side arms that i've heard are good are from Ariakon & 32 Degrees.

http://www.speedytoys.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=309\n\nit depends on what you are looking for in the gun.\nfor the money, probably the utg master.  the fps is better than the more expensive HFC, its not as powerful as the UHC swat, but is considerably cheaper. heres my analysis.\n\nUTG: 315-325 fps. $99\nUHC: 500 fps. $140\nHFC:280-300 fps. $105

I suggest a nicer spyder.  Something on the lines of an Electra or an Imagine.  The electra is a great lightweight gun that is perfect for aggressive front players.  with the right hopper it should be able to shoot at least 20 balls per second depending on your shooting skill.  It has the rocking trigger which is really helpful.  If you are really skilled you can get it to shoot 27, 28 balls per second.  I reccomend this gun highly since i have used it.  You can get it for like 250 dollars.  Great Gun

i do paintball and its an awsome sport.  its so fun because its got an adrinaline rush to sitting out in the woods not knowing when you might get ambushed.  its really cool and it helps you with your seeing and hearing senses.  a usual semi automatic gun thats sturdy (depending on where you buy it) can cost anywhere from 75 to175 dollars and thats for the viewloader to tippmann range the next range is pretty much 200-1000 dollar range.  i also suggest getting an airsoft gun to practice

I have an HKUSP40, bought one of the stainless slide models years ago, they're no longer available, I've put close to 10,000 rounds thru it in 10 years time, replaced the recoil spring once. It is the most consistant, accurate shooting pistol I own.It will eat any ammo you put thru it except Blazer aluminum cased and Wolf steel cased ammo. At one time it was my daily carry pistol, and I still will carry it on occasion. It comes with 2 10 round magazines, but 13 round magazines are available for it.It's a very easy to maintain firearm, take down takes about 10 seconds, reassembly takes about 15 seconds.

Yes.  If you want to get the most out of your RT, you're going to need a powered feed hopper to be able to up keep up with the feed demands of the high fire rates of the RT.  I would also recommend that you look into getting a "Warp Feed" for it as well.

the spyders are good guns and my friend says he likes it but he would rather have a tippmann because he cant customize the gun to his style of play and upgrades for it are hard to find.  i let him use mine once and he siad that if the got the chance he would get one like mine because its is overally better than his.  i have been through hell and back with that gun and it still works like it was bought today.   can also customize it to fit my style.  ifi wanna snipe i just add a barrel and stock , if i want to be aggressive than i add a response trigger.  that would make it able to compete with those 1000+ dollar auto cockers and costs a lot less.  hte kit is around 170 dollars nrew but if you look you can find one for around 100

I've been making and redesigning them since I was about 15 (I'm 27 now) and they are a blast. They have the ability to shoot 100-200 yards if done good and can cost from $25 for a basic one to over $100 if you want to go exotic. I can tell you as a police officer, they are NOT illegal, and are not classified as firearms, but you might want to check your local laws to make sure they don't have an local laws against such things

It depends on what YOU consider what "best" is\nto you. Diffrent guns have diffrent  fps,\ndiffrent ranges, diffrent type of power, etc.\nWhat do you want the gun to do that will\nmake you satisfied?\nLook at the diffrent websites and ask the pros\nthese questions, everyone here will give their own\noppinion on what they think "best" is to them. It might not\nbe what you want.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst off, given the option, I would not buy "basic" of anything. The Ruger .22 auto-pistol (Mark 3 Standard) has fixed sights. I have not looked at the Browning recently, but I believe the Browning Buckmark pistol also has fixed sights. I think after the first or second range session you will be unhappy with fixed sights and you will wish you had bought adjustable sights. (As an aside, modern adjustable sights are not ultra delicate, flimsy, or fragile. They aer quite durable.)\n\nNow for the Ruger Standard pistol... the Ruger has a tubular receiver with an internal bolt and a jack knife mainspring. While the Ruger is very easy to disassemble (in theory) it is difficult to clean the barrel breech, bolt rails and bolt face without complete disassembly. Even with the pistol completely disassembled you will have to be creative and resourceful to properly clean the bolt rails and breech face. In cleaning my father's, I have found new uses for toothpicks (toothpicks are now a standard part of my cleaning kit). \n\nWith respect to the Browning... the Browning has a "split" receiver with a moving receiver slide/bolt much like the old High Standards and the Colt Woodsman/Huntsman series pistols. The Browning can be thoroughly cleaned without disassembly with just bore cleaner, toothbrush and patches (I think a plus). The sights are on a staionary rib and do not move when the slide recoils.\n\nBy design, I prefer the Browning just because of the ease of cleaning without disassembly. The Browning company has been around longer. On the flip side, despite Bill Ruger's politics, his target grade Mark series pistols have developed a fine reputation for accuracy out of the box in bullseye pistol matches. My purchase would be dictated by final use. If I needed a target pistol, I'd probably buy the Ruger. But if I just wanted a .22 pistol, I'd get the Browning. \n\nGood luck.

I had one and it was nothing special other than the fact that it was expensive and looked nice. Other than that really just an average gun. Kind of a novelty gun like its big brother. The best guns I've used recently are the XD line from springfield armory, I would pick one of those up and quite a few others before I bought a baby eagle

i would say yes because some fields and most high end fields will not let you play with a full auto and a spyder MR1 is very cuztumizable like u said and it can be upgraded to a top of the line gun
