Shocker or Viking?

[Moralevitz]

What do you prefer and why? I am sure more are going to say Viking for this is the Viking forum, but I just wanted to know for I am trying to decide between the two.
P.S. Comparing the 2k2 Shocker and the Viking...

Well I owned a shocker and switched to the viking. The viking is smaller, lighter, faster, and you don't really need to buy aftermarket parts for it. The shocker is a nice marker, and if you really want a closed bolt marker, get the excalibur, but the thing I had a real problem with on the shocker was the maxflo. Always creeping, or just being a general pain in the but if you didn't clean and lube it after every day of play. The maintanace on the shocker is a lot as well. The viking or excal, just put a few drops of oil into the asa, gas up and pulll the trigger. Which would you prefer.

Personaly, I would love the Viking. I have been wanting one for a while. It will take me longer to save for it, but you get what you pay for :D
