wow...with the pmr and the etek on the list why do you still have the mini and the slg?
But go with the pmr/etek depending on which you like, poppet or spool. But if you dont mind used guns you can get so much better.

etek2 all the way. It's a superior marker to any of the other ones listed.

the spool valveis more smooth but uses more air.
I personally prefer poooits because they have a "feel" to them. Plus they're more efficient.

Don't forget that the Bob Long Marq Series uses an Inline Poppet design

well since they are still relatively new, i would say some where between $300-400, new ones run about $550

Quest IMO is better in almost every way than the Etek. It's trigger is IMO better. It's just as fast, almost just as efficient, and a TON smoother. maintenance is, for a spooly, EXTREMELY simple.

Any marker you're loooking at will be great for semi-auto only play. In fact, in 14 years of playing, I can proudly say I've never knowingly played a game on anything BUT semi-auto. So I can't say how anything is for ramping.

They are fantastic. Post pics when you do get it. And there's several of us here that shoot them, so if you have any problems just post. One thing you will want to do when you get it, is get an oring kit for them. 90% of all issues with the quest is going to be due to an oring gone bad.

ok cool looking at getting this one
FEP Quest Red - eBay (item 250443579149 end time Jul-12-09 18:57:13 PDT)
our "team" color is red so im trying to stick with red on my gear. the reason team is in qoutations is cause we havent really started it but when me and my friends start getting really good we are going to start a team plus me and my friend already order sp defenders in red so red became our "team" color
also what should a used one of these cost cause if i could find a used red one it would save me some cash

OG is the term for the original body style Quest. Since they made so many changes during it's lifespan, it became impossible to track them, and they just adopted the name OG as a generic term for that body-style. Then the 07's.

I have owned a total of 4 Quests in my life, but only have 2 currently.
