Saw a brand new Spartan Imports Tar21 at a local store. Liked the look and did some research on it, but nothing other than first impressions and personal opinions had been documented. I'm interested in this marker over the ARES version mainly due to price, second, weight. The S&T weighs 4.2 lbs while the Ares weighs 7 lbs. I've held the Ares, and the massive rear weight is fairly uncomfortable for a smaller player like me. Plus, I don't have $600 bucks to blow on another marker. The 'better half' would kill me. lol.

Basically, what I want to know is if ANYONE here has first hand experience using it, owns it and if it's worth the price. The store has placed it on hold for me, while I do my research. From what I know thus far, the particular model in question has the poly carbonate gearbox (yes i know they're not the best now a days) but I know there is a metal gear box version for the same price I just need to track one down.

If anyone can tell me anything about it, range, accuracy, feed consistency, ANYTHING that will help me decide yay or nay would help. Thanks.
