Hey I've been out of the loop as far as Tech goes haven't played in a couple of years but i'm in the market to buy a Bob Long gun anywhere from 500-1000 dollars what kind would you guys recommend. really just want to know if the new timmys(protege) are better then the old ones or is there something better now Thx

Protege is in the range, there are also the bob long Marq's out there I highly suggest you pick one up.

I'd suggest to look into the Bob Long Vice (which is a 5th generation Timmy, and has some factory upgrades over the Protege) - or if you are looking to spend around the upper end of your price range, a Marq (not a Timmy, a completely different type of Bob Long marker)

AWESOME rapper! very very nice

Just as a word of advice to anyone who reads this thread. The Marq line has 4 markers. 6, 7, Rapper, and Closer. 3 of the 4 are IDENTICAL other than milling and weight. The 6, 7 and Rapper's only differences is the milling and therefore the weight. The Rapper is lightest, followed by the 6, and the 7 is heaviest.
The Closer has the 4 eye upgrade and a Pillow bolt, and is lighter even than the Rapper...otherwise it's the same (so a 6/7/Rapper w/ 4 eye and pillow will be identical to Closer other than milling/weight).

Good info - sounds like the old question, what are the differences between alias, a-bomb, dark, ripper 2, ripper 2.5, naughty dogs etc etc..

for those wondering - no difference for those Gen3s as well, just the milling and weights

i have a marq 6 and it shoots great.

The protege is amazing and is almost identical to the vice minus the fact that the vice has better milling, a better barrel and feedneck. Internals are very similar, but the vice will shoot an entire case of paint on a 68/4500 tank filled up.

Worth the $200 more than a protege? If you have the money, go for it.
