Anyone used the Rhino Stingers?? Thoughts??

Around here Briley and Kolar tube's rule, I have often wondered about the Stingers, hope someone will chime in that has em.

The only complaint I've heard is about the o-rings being a pain.
I had Briley sidekicks and was disappoited after patterning them. I only bought them because they were cheap and I ended up selling them for a little more than I had in them. I shot them for a year with mixed results. I ended up buying a set of full length ultralite Briley tubes and was happy with them but just bought a new gun and the Briley's don't fit it.

Now I'm thinking about buying a set of carrier barrels and new tube set for my Kolar but lots of money......

The can be a PITA re ejection if you don't keep them clean.

If you shoot them a lot you will get a crud build up where they end in the barrel. Clean it out periodically.

Thoughts? There are better ways to reach the finish line.

Battue-

Which better ways do you recommend?

Admittedly more expensive, but if I were looking for tubes it would be a set of Briley full length lightweights. They just work well and can be had with screw in chokes. They are the choice of those who use sub gauge tubes more than a little. They do add noticeable weight to the barrels.

Just make sure you are really going to use them more than a little. If you do, you will eventually probably end up with Briley anyway and will have saved money in the long run.

If you are not going to use them frequently then the stingers maybe a better choice from a cost perspective.
