I got to use my quest for the first time yesterday and WOW! Heres what I noticed: I play back and front and this gun is easy to maneuver and hold anywhere on the field.
Pros:
-Very light
-Very balanced with halo and 68/45 (both full)
-Very efficeient, I got a halo and two pods off 500 psi, you do the math
-Very fast, I put it on semi capped at 15 and was shooting a solid 15 easy, no joke
-Looks good, nice anodizing
-All functions programmable through trigger
-PSP, semi, and nxl modes, capped or uncapped
-Easy to maneuver in any position
-Very comfortable to hold
-Very snappy responsive trigger
-Good stock barrel, not seen in pic because i had forgot it at home.
Cons:
-Old goldmember bolts have been known to break, but haven't seen that with stock bolts...
-some people dont like the reg because the elbow for the macroline is in a bad spot, but i dont notice it while i play
-nothing else, Ive shot almost every high-end gun in a game and this is right up there with the very best. I've shot them all and probably like this the best.
This is my team, TEAM FATE, we placed second at the tourney yesterday thanks to my quest, I get lots of compliments and people that want to see it. Definitely turns, and mows, faces at the field, get one!

Well I have used a DM4, PM5, more then three Shockers and too me this is my favorite marker.
Plus:
Easy maintainace (like 7 o-rings)
Easy to program
Great looking
Light, manuverable
Stock barrel is sick
The feel of the trigger frame is second to none!
Basically this whole marker is a plus
Negative:
Only the old goldmember bolts ( I dont use one, the stock is fine for me I use a 45 45 and have never come close to running out of air in a game, I think I would run out of time first)

Awsome reviews guys.
Dont forget to add that once you own a quest you have support from the whole FEP family. This entitles you to basically 24/7 tech support from many repeated pbn forum addicts.
Asside from informal support, FEP -First Endeavor Paintball- has the best customer service around. If something happens to go wrong, they will replace it- asside from the noid or sheer negligence (sp) it will be free. I had a WAS board start smoking...yeah I fire that fast...lol, anyhow no questions asked I sent it it, it came back with a brand new board.
:tup: to FEP, Dont worry guys while I am selling my quest I will still be around to help and next season I will own another quest when bills are easier to manage.

similar but not exact. Some individuals tried them early on and had eye issues....I would not a advise it under any circumstance. Im sure it will void your more than worthwhile warranty.
Where are you located in wisconsin? Im right outside of chicago if you ever want to test one out.

wow yours hasnt broken yet? yeh the lpr on my gun is very sensitive, a hair under 100psi and the balls just rol out of the barrel a little over 100psi it kicks like a bull. its not like its still breaking in either ive shot about 5-6 cases through it id say. sorry for the ot/rant there but other than that i love my quest, and so does everyone that uses it both at arena and pevs.

Wow, small world, I was born in Racine :)
Most of the others have said it all, really. Quest is light, fast, supereasy to maintain. Comes with an awesome stock trigger and a great barrel out of the box.
I'm trying to sell mine to get cash for my car, but I'm not trying very hard. ;)

Drop your lpr to 80, toss your dwell to 10ish and up your zero drop hpr. I garantee either your hpr is to low, or your dwell is to low, or both + badlube could come into play.
Use hater (I would suggest some new orings)
Up the dwell
Up the HPR
Lower the Lpr like you have been wanting to
OH AND TOSS A NEW BATTERY IN! <<Woot the secret to solving nearly all quest problems.

i use hater sauce
dwell is stock(i belive, i sent it to fep for a noid repair so idk if they changed any settings i havnt checked)
the hpr is shooting at 260-270
i guess ill try the dwell thing but the WAS boards dwell seting is very intimidating to me with the decimals and stuff liek .01 up the dwell and stuff.
