I saw one advertised on the Maxem Paintball site - was going for about £90, but I don't know if that includes VAT or not.

Check it out at:

Scotty - I looked into this myself a couple of months back and found the cheapest option was to buy direct from Ricochet, pay the $ price + VAT ( apparently shipping is included in the $ price, even to the UK???? ).

I ended up buying a revvy due to the hassle and cost

I bought mine direct. I paid the advertised price can't remember what it was) and they paid postage. Got to me in under a week. Very good people to deal with, drop them an email and they'll sort you out.

Chain, what's it like? I'm still tempted by it's design.

Get many bouncers?

Well I'm pretty new to paintball so I'm probably not the best person to ask...

I like the look of it. I've not seen anyone else with one and I keep getting questions about it; some people say they like it, others say they don't. It's pretty noisy - I've got the latest 2002 model which is supposed to be substantially quieter than the original version, but it's still loud. Then again I've never noticed it in a game so it's not really an issue. The counter and timer are really helpful. It feed really well.

As for bounces, well I've had two bounce off it, one into me Had one ball burst on it as well.

To be honest I got it because of the counter and timer.

Let us know if you get one!

OK OK, yes i'm sponsored by them but....

The Ricko' is a great loader. the shape is very much down to taste but it feeds plenty good for me (little ol frt player), it DOES get bouncers, but yes it will break on it, no hopper will ever stop that !!! I've not noticed the noise and for me the best bit is the timer / shot counter / shot alarm. Ive never had a viewloader so I cant compare. Was an Autofeed guy till Thunder got sponsored !!

As said above, if you cant find one in UK go direct, great guys & great service !
