Theres a good chance of hitting(Hand touching) the scope, when you use a low mounted scope and the normal handle.
The gspec handle is nicer, so if I had a the choice, I would get it.
You don't lift it as high as the normal one, so theres less chance of hitting the scope.

 

I use a Bushnell 3-4x40. It is reasonably compact.
I also wear thin gloves. Maybe that is the issue.

 

Weird, I'm using a 3-9x40 Nikko Stirling Mountmaster on it, it's not that compact really.

 

Sounds the same way as what I do it but I guess it may depend on the size of the scope because I often hit it with the pro bolt handle. So I changed it to the G-spec and it works a treat

 

You may extend the inner barrel of the Gspec to 503mm which makes it more effective in range than a 430 of the Pro.

 

That will depend on what bb weight you are using. Different bb weight produce different amounts of energy out of the rifle.

 

I'm going to be adding a 430mm 6.02 TB barrel. Plus a load of other parts including a 90 degree trigger

 

I think the pro's bolt handle is fine. Maybe a bit short, but you'll never hit your scope at all if you pull the bolt back the right way. Plus I'm a firm believer that a 430mm barrel will help you with those long range shots.

 

Do you lift the bolt by having your palm facing upwards? I normally have my palm facing downwards and I often hit the scope.

 

The Pro Bolt handle sucks.
Also the G-Spec is the better rifle in my opinion because it has the shorter barrel. This means that if you had both a Pro Version and a G-Spec Version and they were both upgraded to 500fps, the G-Spec will have more energy behind the bb as it has more joule creep.

 

Main differences:

Gspec has a more acute bolt handle swivel and a different bolt handle design. Pro has a much more obtuse swivel and a traditional flat sphere bolt knob. Pro bolt knob can interfere with scopes,especially on low scope mounts.

Gpsec outer barrel is shorter,has bull barrel style and has suppressor threading. Pro has a tapered barrel and no supressor threading

Gspec has a 6.05mm,303mm brass inner barrel.
Pro has a 430mm 6.08 aluminium inner barrel

 

Thanks for the info guys, would the different bolt handles get in the way of the scope mounts?

 

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about the bolt handles!

 

I believe the only differences between the two are: Bolt handles, inner and outer barrel length, fps(?) and of course the loudness when fired between the two.

 

Internally they are the same, with the exception of a longer inner barrel. the major differences between them is externals, like you said.
