I don't own any but if I was making a choice and going to use the gun for hunting perhaps I would go with Shadow 1000 because the synthetic stock, 0.2" group at 30 yards, score ramp-grooved receiver, scope stop. Also my favourite manual safety.

For the price I would go with the Quest and also easy to get parts.

For my self I would get Diana36 ....lol.... which I did ....

Isn't the Quest 1000 a copy of the Gamo Hunter 220, a pricer wooden stock model of the Gamo Shadow 1000?
If that is the case, I would go for the Quest at less than 1/2 the price. The Quest is very well made.

If you don't need the extra speed, at the same price as the Shadow, how about a HW30s? A far superior gun in every other way. It is about 700fps in .177cal.

Well..A lot of Americans use Shadow 1000 for small game hunting, and I rarely heard of anybody use Quest for hunting. I have never handled Shadow 1000, but I assume it has better accuracy and more reliability than Quest. :?
