I just wanted to say that this has got to be one of the nicest markers I've ever shot, let alone owned. It is so accurate and consistant. Last week over the chrono it looked like this..........292......292....292...292. It was unbelievable. Its being upgraded to 25bps by AuctionJunkie as I type. I got the plates from a Diamond Dust Viking. The marker has a 12" Ultralite and a CenterFlag HyperFlow 45 4500. I'd like to get "Black N Blue engraved on the detente cover, but I don't know if that will happen. Let me know what you think. And I'll add this post to the picture thread in a couple days. I hope its OK if I put up a post on the main thread though.

Last One. The Black really doesn't look purple like it does in the pic. It looks a good bit better than that.

Pretty marker, looks so unassuming until you rip on the trigger. Nice choice of markers. I can't decide on one of those or the X-Mag in gloss black. (Gotta love wedding presents)

Hey Ben,
That thing looks like it will kick some tail! Lemme know how she performs on the field this weekend. Sorry I won't be able to make it, I'm heading down to Florida with my Dad and girlfriend.

You guys have fun. You'll have to send me an email with a review of the Viking.

Later ~ Dave

what happens when a ball gets pinched...does it recock or do you have to do it manually?
:confused:

I believe it recocks. It has such a low cycle price (not TOO low, but low enough) that it just half-cycles. I put my finger in one at IAO, it hurt a wee bit, not LVL 10 soft, but I wouldn't imagine a chop.

It re-cocks itself. I really really love this thing. But I do miss the SuperMan Micro. I'm thinking about just getting a Mag as a loaner marker. I just hate not having a Mag around. Or maybe I should get one for my Dad for Christmas. Anyway...........Thanks everyone for the positive comments, keep 'em coming.

I just sold my angel and am picking up a viking. Going to be the same exact thing exact wtih the stick trigger. My question is do yuo like that trigger on there or do you think it worth going for the stick.

I ordered one last week in diamond dust with the stick trigger...dying to have it come. I am keeping my RT pro, though, until I break down and buy some version of the Extreme when the come out. TRIAD, was the one you put your finger in an already broken in one with the lowered lpr, or was it stock? Just wondering prior to putting valuable digits into the breech.

Vayp. I'll still be on over there. I still have the wisdom, just not the marker. :D

Actually I do like it. I had planned on getting the stock trigger even before I shot my Viking. But I played with the trigger and decided to just be content and keep it. And it really does work great.
