I don't care for an inline pressure gauge, but I DO like having an LPR gauge; the extra weight doesn't bother me. I think the Quest is light enough. Looks nice, but I also think the reg is too close the the trigger guard. And I also don't like the look of the new snatch pin. I don't dislike it, but there is (IMHO) room for improvement (like perhaps a port for an optional LPR gauge). Just think of this a constructive criticism

I am feeling the same way about the reg and trigger frame...but They know best, I guess we can just wait and see.

I would let the q7 have my babies

mmm

I'm keeping my 06 quest till it's obsolete

with that being said, it is now going to sit in it's new home, a padded guncase along with a couple other guns for another year.

I'm taking a stab in the dark at guessing the price for the Body Kit setup to be around $150 retail. With that being said I think that will be a bit costly if they think they are going to move alot of them. Why did I guess that price? Well you get the body kit, the snatch pin($40), the new bolt ($40), the headlock ($20). The total of the 3 parts alone without the body kit is around $100. I really hope they offer JUST the body kit without all the other accessories and at a decent price. Cross your fingers.

Price has already been confirmed in a previous thread(from David Palmer) as $399.

My GUESSES ON PRICING** these are purely speculation with no knowledge backing them.

1)They offer a body kit for 399, might seem abit steep but it is quality---something for poorer quest users who want to refresh the look of their marker, and have a LE.

2) Q7, sexy new look of our favorite gat, 10x more streamline...and 7 oz lighter.....I am betting on a $999 pricetag, probably droping to 899 a few months after release.

3) Kelevera, "Bad Dog", With all the features I have heard from Cole, and bragging from Dave....I see it around $1199 Like Bob Longs new(er) toy.

Considering the quality of the markers I think price is even more justified than most of the other 07 line around the league. The Dm7 maybe beautiful, but there is no way any gat is worth 1399+(I hope I dont eat my words on this.)

^^^^Pure speculation and business reasoning skills. Last years Quest was $895 and it was the very first year, without going for any outrageous(=More expensive milling) just to show the world what the Quest had to offer. Now with a proven design (Flame somewhere else if your angry because you broke your own quest and your bitter....or if you thing poor harnesses & a defective run of GM bolts would make my statement untrue) they have the ability to mold it into one of the lightest, most streamline gats available...so yes it is going to cost more, aggressive milling is not cheap, ESPECIALY when your shaving 7oz, alot of OOPS might happen making a marker that slender, and those bodies will never be sold and be a loss(of $).

Regardless I am ranting, I dont know why, I am done, be happy....

Mu hahahahahahaha.....well I havent seen Jeff do it in ages, I thought it was about time for a slightly lengthy post...with personal insights that just needed to be shared, why I dont know, I wont ever know.....just like I dont know why all my sentences never end(the majority of the time)-I am obsessed with ending sentences with () or ...... or ---- or ,

^ now that is not a rant that is a ramble.

I'm going to assume streamline means mainstream

?

The reason the body kit costs so much is because it comes with
GM Bolt - 45$
Snatch Pin - 40$?
Headlock - 27$

So [399 - (45+40+27)] = 287$ = Only the body.

I hope they sell it that way

dj red dog · 03-20-2007, 11:10 AM

I missed the initial price announcement, thanks for the update. However $399 isn't going to fly. I wish them luck. Is it a $$$ issue because im broke/poor, not at all because I'm very much wealthy but to "mod" my gun I'm definitely not dropping $400, or even $300 to upgrade the styling. I would sell my current quest and purchase new instead. Just MHO.

I was mentioning streamline to describe the milling style, almost a smooth aerodynamic...less blocky look, which makes the whole gun flow much better...

Good price break down but also factor in a new, 10x stronger feedneck design.

Dont make me loose it again about the resale. QUEST IS Late 05/early 06 marker, it started at 895 new. LOOK AT THE DM's and PM's and G7's. Their resale plumeted far lower than that of the quest. AND it was the quests first year! They were tourney prizes for teams that could not use them do to sponsorship...which means quick sale for the team fund.

Be happy resale was strong...It is sill not too bad. It will level out around 500.

I paid 850$ Shipped for mine Back in Oct/Nov of 05.. it was a First Run.. not more then maybe a month out... And i can still sell it for 5-600 ...Not bad for a marker almost 1 1/2 years out... Now the 06 timmy i had on the other hand.. less then a year and its down to 5-600... which Retailed for More...

Resale only seems to be Down as of now.. HB is comming, everyone wants new Toys Etc... after HB it should even out pretty well like Lu_aDak said.. and hey if not. more power to those Joining the family.
