yes we should move away from the 'feels' conversation.
and onto how they sound when cycling.
TL3: Like your electric model train going down the tracks, clicking and clacking so loud you can hear it across the house.
Surgeon: Like someone is banging a nail with a hammer, because only Neanderthals still use these
Defiance: Like two finely machined surfaces sliding against each other, making no noise... until dust gets in there and it stops moving.
Impact: Bolt lift is like someone dragging their fingernails across a chalk board, then it basically resembles a surgeon because that's really what it is
Curtis: Doesn't cycle, usually the mags are too high to allow the bolt to move.
Remington: Imagine dragging a piece of pipe across concrete, until the bolt handle snaps off.
Savage: Identical to a TL3, except with slightly better tolerances and more innovation.
Tempest: I've never actually been able to cycle one, the bolt lift is too heavy
Stiller: You can't actually hear it cycle because their owners are yelling "why the f*ck isn't this thing working" the entire time
Kelbly: They should just stick to f class
Borden: Similar to Stiller, you can't actually hear it cycling because their owners won't shut up about how awesome they are.
Tubb ATR: I don't think any suckers have actually bought one yet.
Accuracy Intl: The best sound ever. Just ask anyone on this forum. And if you don't believe it you are wrong and we will flame you.
Mausingfield: Imagine the national anthem played with a set of bagpipes and the drummer is banging on trashcan lids.
