Riffe Mahogany Competitor Speargun

Overview

The Riffe Mahogany Competitor Series is a band-powered speargun built around a solid mahogany hardwood stock. The family is intended for spearfishing around reefs, holes, kelp paddies, and the seafloor, with the selected configuration matched to the hunting environment.

Trigger and line control

The handle houses Riffe's two-piece stainless-steel trigger mechanism, which accepts shaft diameters from 1/4 in through 3/8 in for compatibility with different shaft setups. A rotating spring-loaded side safety controls the trigger mechanism, while the automatic line release retains the shooting line before firing and releases it as the shaft departs.

Rigging and loading

The standard power-band system can be upgraded to larger-diameter bands when additional power is appropriate, with Riffe recommending the larger bands for heavier shafts. A contoured urethane butt provides the rear loading surface against the body, and suitable Riffe replacement parts and accessories allow the shaft, bands, and related rigging to be adapted for compatible setups.

Within the family, the #3 and #3X models are the versions identified for bluewater capability when fitted with the appropriate shaft, band, and rigging upgrades.
