Very sweet.

[Ov3rmind]

Simply beautiful. Could you do a comparison with your Viking anytime soon?

[sps16]

uhhhohhh so very pretty, looking forward to seeing it in person

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

wuts the serial #?

[headcase]

Both the X-mag and the Viking are great markers.

When the Viking is set up with the eyes, the chances of either chopping a ball are slim to none. Both will cycle faster than is necessary. Both my Vikings have been more constant than any my my E/X-mags. As well as having much better efficency. The X-mag does have a lower profile.

What do I like better? I currently have a PBX Viking. But I am in the process of assembling the parts for a new E-mag project that will offer everything a X does except for the removable breaches(which I don't use anyway.)

They both are great markers, and I wouldn't sell/trade either for the other again.(I sold my Immortal to get my X, and then sold my X and used some of the money to get my PBX)

[MantisMag]

wow that's purty! and nice job with the pic. good lighting, nice backdrop. two thumbs up!

[Steelrat]

Serial number 392.

Overmind, id do that, but my viking was traded for the X. It was an opportunity I could not pass up. However, I have already set in motion my plan for obtaining an 04 viking, possibly an immortal or featherlight. I expect to have it soon. There are great deals to be had on used ones too :D

Impressions so far: I seriously do not expect the X to be faster than the viking, but I expect to do well with it. I believe that the xmag trigger, like the eblade trigger, demands a different walking style than the viking. I learned to use my fingertips on the eblade trigger, and trying that same technique on the xmag seems to work well.

Believe it or not, the X seems larger than the viking. It is also MUCH better looking, but the viking was always about performance over looks.

What I do like about the X is its low profile and overall feel. Honestly, I would have kept all three (X, eblade, and the viking) but that is a bit too extravagent for my playing abilities, so I had to decide on two.

That color would be "pewter" which seems to be partway between black and silver. It also seems to have a bluish tint to it.

I guess we needed the X. SoCal has, what, 5 X-mags? We gotta stop slacking off up here.

[sps16]

aw but we do have the kimera sfl aswell

[Steelrat]

Yes we do, and that one is worth at least 2 X-mags! I just need to school Z-man on how to shoot these things while actually moving your fingers.

Slacking off? I can only mow so many lawns there Ryan:D Man, I didn't know you actually TRADED the Viking for the X, that was a killer deal though, did you have to add cash? And SoCal, we have an SFL, which is rarer than any X Mag so blah!:p

[LittlePaintballBoy]

Ope, posted while I was posting. Hey guys, is it just me or are none of the NorCal sigs showing up, they are just Red X's for me:confused:

[Steelrat]

Well, there are always more vikings to be had, especially with the new 04 vikings out ;) X-mags are few and far between. And this one is only a month or so old, with CnC battery pack, and the nice X-mag valve. Its also in fantastic condition, with about 2k shots.

Trust me though, there WILL be another viking in my hands SOON! Remember, the eblade already sold :D

[LittlePaintballBoy]

Ahhhh, yes, the vikings are nice, and I can't wait to see your next one, like a featherlight or a Immortal, mmmmm, immortall.:p

[sps16]

mmmm immortal
