Vanguard - Creed AR-V Reviews
Vanguard Creed AR-V I love the creed because of the way it feels as far as the grip frame goes. I am not a fan of the finish of the aluminum and ano. Overall, the gun shoots amazing.

I've owned a few Creeds now. I bought one when they were first released in the UK and actually received a prototype as my first one! Getting to know the marker took a bit of time, but Martin over in the UK was great offering to talk on Skype at any time to help with troubleshooting.

I had an SL94 before I bought the Creed and got rid of the SL94 because the Creed was so much better. This marker is a very smooth shooting marker that turns heads at the field and never lets me down.

Cons: Buttons on back coming off
I have a gold splash Creed and its a great gun the thing shoots great is WAY quiet for a poppit, great efficiency and a great feel, consistency isn't the best +/- 20 but with some tuning to my lpr i can get that fixed definitely my problem not the guns, the Oled with rechargeable battery and all the accessories that came with the gun are awesome, no upgrades needed, (if there are any?)

my only complaints on the gun i disliked the grips they felt plasticy and kind of cheap and fell apart after awhile, (spd grips fixed this) the back buttons also broke and came off (new one with epoxy holding up great) i think that if Vanguard spends more time on little details they can have an awesome marker a few let downs but nothing major you can't go wrong with this.

They feel great in the hands, oled board stock is awesome, just as smooooooth.

Pros: OLED, Barrel Kit, Packaging
Cons: Crappy Grips
I really like this marker. It has so many pros for the few cons it has. I've personally always been an ego fan. However, there is no doubt that this marker shoots a lot smoother than an ego. The packaging is also much better than the ego and it comes with many things that other markers don't usually come with stock. These things include a barrel kit, lanyard, instructional dvd, many many charging mechanism, leather case, anodized allen keys, oil, and probably more stuff I can't think of right now. The gun is very accurate and the feedneck it comes with also sits very low.

One of the cons is the grips. On the sides to me it feels fine; however, there is a little flappyness on the front under where the trigger guard is. Also the marker's trigger is a little less comfortable to me than the ego's persay. However, I wouldn't nessecarily call this a con because it is still much better than some of the other markers I've owned. Also a big downside to me is that there aren't many upgrades out there such as feednecks triggers regs, etc. However, what it comes stock with is good enough. I just threw on a LP Poppet and it shoots very smooth.

In my opinion if you are hesitating on purchasing this marker. Just go ahead and do it.

Vanguard Creed AR-V This gun came with a lot of awesome extras, and a sweet leather case and barrel sock. Great efficiency and shoots smooth and straight. Only downside is that the gun is rechargeable.

This gun was given to my by a friend, because it was so unreliable. He paid full price for it when it first was released. He had so many problems with it he gave it away. When the gun works it shoots great. But it's not an easy task getting it to work properly.
