In the market for a new marker, don't know what to get

The one BIG upgrade on a vike is the RT valve. Everything outside of that is pretty much preference. Toolkit is nice to have but 99% of the time bone stock runs just fine.

Even the RT valve is a preference. Many of us run the Viking stock and are as happy as can be.

The only thing about the Blazer is that there is practically NO tinkering allowed . But there is really no need for it. I like having cockers around becuase there is always something to work on, something new to customize. The Blazer is like the Ron Popiel of paintball guns, just "set it and forget it", I guess that's why I love mags too. When I got my Blazer I aired it up and was looking at it, feeling like I just HAD to tinker with something, but really the only thing I could do was adjust the LPR, but it was already set perfectly. So I just degassed it and hung it up on my wall. I don't think you will be disappointed at all with a Blazer.

Try an Invert Mini. They are small, fast and easy to maintain. You can find them for about $200.

I have to agree. And where you say you are looking for something "mag like"....not in the quality build aspect, even though I have been quite suprized at how well they work when taken care of, the Mini just feels like a modern extension of the Emag.

Cheap too, and for a backup to the backup you might just be suprized. I bought mine as a bag floater and it gets used quite a bit. It is one of two guns I have that I will not sell.

Awesome everyone. I actually just picked up a Blazer in a trade. It has a sidwinder reg, clamping feedneck, unported barrel, and I had an hour conversation with the person I am trading with. He said that it is tuned and ready to go. He also filled me in on all the quirks and unusual things about it. Therefore, I will not be touching it. I am super excited. I don't know what is going on with the backup mag purchase on the Nation. No response with paypal information since the guy said that we had a deal. Might not happen. If not, I may look into a Mini just for fun. since I now will have two SOLID Markers. Thanks everyone!!!

I've heard nothing but good things about AKA Vikings. Several of the Geisterjagers who are hardcore Mag guys also use Vikings. By the way, let's see some pics of that Mini-Tac!

For 300-400 I'd go with a nice spooler 08/09 Shocker DM7/DM8. Very low kick, quiet, almost maintenance free.
