Spike's Tactical vs. Noveske

[Indy Wing Chun]

Noveske. Dont believe me? Try one.

Believe me, I would LOVE to try both out and see!

My Noveske with accessories. It's the berries

Is that a Noveske Rogue Hunter? What caliber and barrel length is that?

 

[DialTone301]

No comparison at all...get the Noveske. Spikes appears to be nice but they have only been making quality pieces for a couple of years. Noveske has a long record of providing quality equipment.

Noveske VTAC w/a 14.5" barrel, AAC M4 2000 suppressor, Aimpoint M4 w 3X magnifier & Vltor stock = tons of fun!

Man! Commence drooling in 3..2..1...

IWC, your first AR, right?

I don't know if I go with a funky set up or caliber. To me funkifying a rifle too soon involves added expense and time that could be used for training. A solid top tier 16" carbine from LMT, Noveske, Les Baer, Colt, inter alia in .223. Heck even though arguably a hobby gun, a Smith & Wesson ARs runs.

Like I said at Scotty's, if you want to go to the range, you can shoot some of my ARs and see what you like. I like to keep them simple and light so I may not have all the cool geegaws that some of the INGO Operators have.

You need clear sights, clean trigger, sling, maybe a light depending on what you want it for. More importantly you need a class. Did you check on the Awerbuck schedule that I referenced? It's right next door in Lebanon and even with the triplets, she should let you go.

As well, what's up with this photo? Did you just push me? I look like I am off to fight the rake on the wall.

Remembering that in the gun culture that the subjective is objective, if you forced me to choose one, I would go with this and it is completely based on my training history and knowing the people involved. We are blessed with many fine ARs now (thank you, Bill Clinton).

Ha! I don't know exactly what's going on in that pic, but I have to assume it was a push. Either that, or I'm asking you to dance.

I did look into that training. I plan on executing all of this in the mid-spring once the kids arrive and we have a decent schedule to work off of. I'm pretty much just crossing over into the paralysis by analysis stage now and getting overwhelmed by the "options".

If you don't mind, I will get in touch with you to set up a date to shoot.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Call or e-mail.

Yes, our cup runneth over with selections in the AR world.

Either that, or I'm asking you to dance.

Based on the special dance floor, I was gonna go with "tactical dancing".

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I was gonna go with "tactical dancing".

Everyone dresses in black with goatees and baseball caps?

When you do the "tactical tango" does your partner have a k-bar in their teeth instead of a rose?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Get hip, IWC, karambit these days.

 

[esrice]

Everyone dresses in black with goatees and baseball caps?

Only if its a formal tactical dance.

I've never shot a Spikes, but know lots of people who have them and love them. I've played with a noveske before and it was the most accurate AR I've ever shot.

I don't even know how you compare the two though, you could probably get multiple Spikes for the price of a noveske.

If this is your first - I'd goto the classifieds here and buy a good and cheap used one. Also, I'm a big fan of Rock River, not as nice as Noveske but accurate and reliable and the prices are very manageable!

 

[guns_up]

Just bought a spikes stripped lower for my buddy. The reason I got it though was availability. I probably would have gone RRA if they were available, but in my research Spikes showed some of the best reviews outside the big makers. Good Luck

 

[Indy Wing Chun]

Thanks for all of the responses, guys. It helps alot!

I was considering a Noveske before I bought my SCAR even called them and asked about ordering and biuld time. CS was great and they seemed to really apprciate my interest in thier product. But 3+ months was longer than i wanted to wait for delivery at the time and the SCAR was in stock. So thats what I went with. So no experiance with thier rifles but CS goes along way with me and im still hoping to get one someday. Ill recomend them for CS alone though.
