Bought a gun for my father in law today, an Omer Caymen Carbon HF2 brand new for $195, made me think of what is the best deal you've ever got - time to spill the beans.
Omer Caymen hf2

How long was that gun
I got my Tito for 200. It had no shaft or bands but I consider that a steal!!!

The Cayman HF2 is an aluminum gun... they don't make a carbon one. :confused1:

Your probably right - i was only going of what the omer booklet said that came with it. I thought it felt like aluminium anyway.
LunkerBuster it was a 1.1m gun, it did come with shaft and bands and rigging line but was not rigged - came with all the crimps and everything to do it though. The only thing i added was a muzzle bunjee. Yeah if i didn't buy it for my father in law i think i would of bought it anyway.

You've seen the hf2 called carbon as well? :confused1:
They are 6 main models in the omer cayman line
Cayman Aluminum - (also known as Cayman 2000) basic round aluminum barrel w/ integrated track, reel optional
Cayman Kanaloa - same as 2000, but with open muzzle & different shaft, reel optional
Cayman Carbon - round carbon barrel w/ integrated track, match reel standard
Cayman HF - Full cuttlefish shaped hydroformed barrel, comes with match reel standard
Cayman HF2 - 2 mini cuttlefish sections in otherwise cylindrical hydroformed barrel, reel optional
Cayman ET - enclosed track, hydroformed, kinda cool shaft with unique shaft fin design, match reel standard*there are a few variations of camo versions as well... i.e. hf2 LE & camu3d versions*
Never seen the carbon hf2 reference, but would be interested to see where it originated from.
All in all, $190 is a good deal for a solid gun.

fuzz, it occurs to me that many of the places I have seen it are second hand/ resale types where many people might just interject the word carbon to make something sound better.
I am trying to recall any shop or dealer calling it that.

Ah, I see a ton of those on Hawaii craigslist ads.

There was a small brochure that came with the gun from Omer that said on the front, OMER Caymen carbon HF2, although i reckon its a universal brochure that comes with all their guns as it also said airbalette down the side and its def. not that.
Yep the FIL was Stoked, especially when he looked it up on the net and it was for sale on an aussie speargun site for $670.

My best bargain was the HF2 also. I got it for 230 delivered to Australia. Pretty good when our local dive shop is asking 450 for them
I also got an omer minilaser knife chucked into the same box for 25 bucks. There are some bargains out there if you google search enough!And I have seen a Omer Cayman HF carbon advertised but it was only the regular barrel cayman made from carbon fibre and they called it HF for some reason

I guess most people don't know anything about Omer products hahaha
-
Well played!!
-
haha nice!

Great price!
One thing I hope you won't have problems with the line release reset. Mine gets stuck occasionally, not allowing you to insert a shaft. Sometimes it is easy to flip back with a knife, but sometimes I have to disassemble the whole line release mech to fix it, which is a pain in the ass... This is the main reason I don't use the gun on a regular basis anymore...
