Re: Advice Needed, again

If I'm not mistaken the difference between the L85a2 and L86a2 is basically just the barrel length and bipod, so nothing that really affects anything...

There's video on youtube that compares the Ares L85a2 and ICS L86a2, I realise this is the opposite way round of what you're asking but as mentioned the L85 and L86 should be vertually the same so really you're just looking at the gun itself and the manufacturer.

He's the link:

Pretty sure the ICS comes out on top, the vid will explain anyway.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Just seen that you're also looking at the 2010 addition? Don't think that's covered in the vid tbh, still worth a look though.

Re: Advice Needed, again

have you tried the search function on this site though, there are millions of best l85 threads so why should I bother to add detail if you can't be bothered to search?

Re: Advice Needed, again

to be honest your going to get everyone saying totally different things, personally i own the ICS and i think its great & pratical.

its your choice at the end of the day...... there both sa80's and do what there ment to

as for pro's and con's for the Ics

Pros: Adjutable power, you can fit a large batt in the handguard, locking bolt, super accuracy, good rate of fire....etc

Cons: a bit heavy, But i like that....

the l86 differs from the l85 in that it has a rear grip, shorter handguard, Longer outer barrel, Bipod. Personnaly i'd choose the L85, its perfect for urban + woodland (509mm barrel, Same as a M16. But loads shorter)

Re: Advice Needed, again

Oliver can you read, I did search and said all the threads were in conclusive, . now could you please enlighten me? And Thanks to the man above, Any more?

Re: Advice Needed, again

if your looking for a conclusive answer you simply wont find one, there are far to many variables.

Do what i did go to a shop, play with them both and choose that way, i spent an honest 3 months reading up on them both, but the information on the web is unreliable to say the least. so i ended up looking at both versions and ICS won.

There both good guns but the ARES seem prone to loosing body pins. Other than that its the only conclusive information i got from the web & from ARES owners

Build wise there both great and will do what you need them too. Either choice i think you will be happy.

Re: Advice Needed, again

they where pretty conclusive to me...

anyway to reiterate what has been said a million times
*pretty good internals
-metal gearbox
*insanely good externals
-steel externals apparently very solid and realistic...
-bolt lock release function
*very well built

Re: Advice Needed, again

THANKS OLLIE AND GUNDUDE , My very last question to make my mide up. which one lookes most like the real steel in every way?

[oliver dowinton]

Re: Advice Needed, again

well the main reason every one loves the ares is because it is apparently a beautiful replica
read bravotwozero's review on this site...
EDIT: here's a link

[gundude]

Re: Advice Needed, again
