ratpatrolteam01 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) ok further research made me believe that 005, 318, and 288 are the most accurate from the bunch. Is this true? (no modding)... and is the 177 (new model that got released)any accurate as the 3 listed above? thanks so much guys Edited May 15, 2011 by ratpatrolteam01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkaiser Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Not the PAM expert, but I've been looking for the same recently. Most accurate seems to be the 288, followed by the 005, 318 and 177 in that order. The 005 and 318 do well because of the closed caseback.

ratpatrolteam01 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 haha i was about to revise my post... but yea i found the same / similar 005, 111J, 177M, or 318 are the best ones... we just need a pam expert to tell us which one from these has the least flaws... thanks =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
permabull Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) From what I hear PAM177L is better quality and more accurate than the recently released PAM177M. You can always find something to mod, it just depends on how picky you are. But these models you listed (especially the closed back PAM318L and PAM005K) and are great out of the box, which is why they've been selling like hotcakes. ps. OP you might want to edit your title, it says 050 instead of 005. Edited May 15, 2011 by permabull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboombasteke Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Get the 005K or the 318. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratpatrolteam01 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) ok so 005K is not available from the dealer I am wanting to get it from. so it's either 318, or 177. (177L or M?) and does it matter on what letter comes after 318? are these correct?: 318 http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=5725 http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=7254 111J http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=7015 177M http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=7599 177L can't find it... but idk if this is it? http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=7450 thanks.

mrboombasteke Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 For the 318, I think they're both ok, but I'd get this: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=7254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratpatrolteam01 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 ok! thank you =) and you would still say that out of the 4, the 318 is the most accurate out of the bunch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboombasteke Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Read this. Very similar thread to yours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratpatrolteam01 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 it looks like 318 gets the vote then =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 BTW- there have been some very good reps of the 050 (40mm.) PAM. I think there is an MBK version that for about $450-500 was said to be great. The new models lately have set the price/quality bar alot higher IMO.
