Hello just after some advice please people i currently shoot a Ego XSV SL66 and i am thinking of swapping for a dm7 or even an 8.
I held one at the masters but was not aloud to air it up or anything can anyone help me with my problem hahaha

I have heard alot about the gun not firing properly when cold as it is a closed bolt and also are they a quiet marker ??

I have looked on dye's website but any more help or advice will be welcome as of course they are going to big them up lol

They are open bolt.

I assume you mean "a quiet marker", if so yes thay are.

They will fire as well as you look after them. Loads of people don't have a problem shooting spools in winter. you just have to adjust the settings slightly.

How much you looking for the SL66? :)

Dm7's and 8's are awesome in my humble opinion. They are by far the best marker around for accuracy and consistency. Once bedded in they are also pretty efficient despite popular misconception.
They are slightly more affected by the cold but this is easily sorted by upping the dwell slightly. I had a DM7 straight out of the box at the jan 07 masters and it didn't miss a beat, and it was bloody cold.
I would say though that as with any marker it is best if you get to know your gun, how to service it, how to set it up and properly look after it. The main complaints about DM's happen because people can't be arsed to learn how to tech them, which is pretty easy to be fair.
I've owned, or at least shot pretty much every modern marker and I will always reach for a DM.:)
Oh and they are worryingly quiet when set up right.

Cue 1000 clones saying how great ego's are.:rolleyes:

Like I said mate they are not that difficult to maintain, just need getting used to. And Dye are by far the best at supporting players at events, Neil @ Heaven covers loads of events north and south and is always willing to help. If not him then any of the Dye teams will always help out.
