I would hope the ctx is at least a little bit better, it costs $2500 compared the mid level Nox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Kinsey Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Culpeper is not far from my home. I hunt the red dirt . Hang onto that GPX. I have been testing the "Changer" in site conditions similar to yours. Glad it's working for you. Good report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The GPX is not going anywhere in Culpeper, it is still king. Take it into a ration can littered trash field, and I can see where the Equinox might have an advantage. Right tool for the job. That's why statements like the CTX cost $2500 so it must be "better" are misnomers. Yeah, the CTX will give you a solid TID on deep silver but it will be blind to a relatively shallow Block I button in mineralized soil that will be easy pickings for the Equinox, which is worth more to you? Only the buyer can decide for themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There was never a chance of the Equinox matching a GPX or GPZ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Exactly, Steve. Depends on if you need a sledgehammer or pliers to get the job done. Two completely different tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtwolf2270 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 I feel people have missed my point. I never meant for my post to offer up the nox was better then this machine or that machine. The ctx is a great machine i The right conditions but do to my hunting conditions and locations it's not the right tool for the job. I spent 5 full years with the ctx hundreds of hours had it since day 1. So I can say with total confidence in mineralized soil it sometimes struggles. You can't build a house with just a hammer. My point was in conditions that the ctx struggles and in conditions where other vlfs fall short. The equinox may perform I also pointed out that the gpx is King in hot soil and my goto in Culpeper but in heavy iron or trashy areas the gpx is hard to use again a void the nox may fill. Sorry if that was not clear. I am a believer in pick the right tool for the job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not doing well in Culpeper with it? again not compared to a gpx that's apples and oranges. Compared to other vlfs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
