I was responding to the quote below where the OP was commenting on the difficulty removing the bolt. Factoring in the price range of his original post, I thought the victory was an excellent alternative as my supercharged victory I bought here on MCB was 750 used. He never said he preferred one valve over the other and I was just offering an alternative within the same price range that could (note could) give better performance.

I have owned both the Rev-I and the Victory and while I liked the Rev-I, especially with all the extras, I switched because of increased efficiency and the ease of bolt removal, as I mentioned. I feel dangerous powers is one of the best manufacturers in the industry, providing a wonderful product for a realistic price. I have owned Fusion, f8, threshold and Rev-i before and was always impressed. I think that for that price range, a used Victory would be a better purchase.

**NOTE- Look for my review of the Victory in the Next Paintball news!**

This is the only hang up for me really; I broke a ball on the Mini last weekend and was hosed the rest of the round because I couldnt pull the bolt out on the field for a quick cleaning.
