We hunt sugar sandy beaches. At worst, maybe some packed shells. Almost never rocks. Ideal conditions. However, targets can be deep. Going to do water hunting, wet sand, damp sand and occasional dry sand.
Never used or tried either - web searches tells me:
Stavr + Carbon fiber handle is lighter than the Stealth (720) setup according to the internets. Handles are equal length, same material - effectively the same. Stavr is 2.5lbs, the Stealth about 3lbs.
It is also about $120 cheaper....which almost buys waterproof headphones.
Stealth + Carbon fiber on the the other hand has a much better handle mounting system. Is domestic (USA) in the case of repairs. Seems to be a slightly better digging design due to point and length, appears equal in sifting.
Is it a big deal to drill and screw in the carbon fiber handle on the Stavr? Does it hold well or wobble or fill with water? How does the Stavr hold up overall.
I know these are two of the highest end scoops. I don't mind paying top dollar for the best, IF it is quantifiable better. If it isn't, then I'd rather put the $120 to something else.
