well what do you want scope or sight? if you want scope then any hunting store will sell cheap ones that are of decent quality.

if you want red dot then most pb websites/stores sell them.

Please, don't get a scope. A paintball gun can't shoot far enough for it to be used effectively anyway and they seriously limit your vision on a field.  If you insist on using a sight, consider a redot. You can find then online or at a sporting goods store. I'd suggest a 25mm or larger.
One shot, One kill.... Oh, wait. What fun is that? TEN shots, one kill, and a bunch of welts on your back.

I recommend the red dot sites rather than scopes. The red dot sites have no magnification and are used with both eyes open.

I find that scopes are pretty useless most of the time. I stuck an old Tasco on my flatline from my BB gun just for fun one day, it looks cool but not really useful. Although if you play woodsball it can sometimes become handy when looking around and scoping out where people might be. I've used mine for that purpose and have had some luck finding people in the trees.

actually i like scopes they look cool and are good in some cases.

only downside is walkon morons are mad at you for tking them after you yell at them that you are behind them. happened last weekend.

i asked him nicely to watch out because i was behind him. he heard me but ignored. then i yelled get the **edited** out of the way. he still ignores. so im like fine then ur fault if ur hit. i look through scope turn to fully auto and shoot just as he stands up. later he almost punched me in the face when i told him he was a moron and that it was a accident that was his fault.

scopes are alright to have on your gun, just don't buy anything expensive cause it could get hit and brake and if you do put one on your gun try not to rely on it every time you go to shoot someone, because a paintball is basiclly a hollow ball with paint inside so not every shot can be dead on accuracy, but a scope can get you fairly close to what your shooting at.

think about it. a scope is designed to take the recoil from a high powered rifle. it wont break with a paintball even cheap ones.

well i guess thats true, but what is the use of buying an expensive scope/sight if you're using it for paintballing, cause the paint isn't going to shoot straight 100% of the time so yur wasting money if you buy the expensive ones, you just need something that will help you get close to your target.
