: I have owned my stock class phantom for a few years now and I have loved it above all the markers i've owned. Recently i've been looking into the amazings markers at palmer pursuit and i wanted to get some opinions on whether their pump markers are as good or better than the phantom? Aftermarket parts really aren't important to me. expecially if the product works well stock. : Thanks Well, I've never shot a Palmer Super Stocker, but I have used a Houndstooth (well, went through a couple hundred rounds at the chrony) and own a Palmer Blazer. Palmer's builds some top-notch gear. The 'Tooth I shot was smooth and accurate...slightly smoother/softer pump stroke than my VSC, but a whole different feel. Sheridan-style pumps are, for the most part, "under-cockers" (ie: pump is below the barrel rather than around it), which gives them a different ergonomic feel. All that being said, if you're looking for a really nice stock class only marker, the Super Stocker is well-worth the money you'll pay. The Phantom has the advantage of versatility...SC, DF, back-bottle, bottomline, vertical...you name it, you can do it and you can switch from SC to DF in a matter of minutes. If you know exactly how you want the marker set up and won't ever want to change it, then Palmer's will set up the SS to your specs. Performance-wise...I don't think either one outshines the other. The Phantom would be more efficient, but both are well-built and would shoot well with good paint. Sorry for the novel... -Wycke
