Scopes - need help

I just want to know what size the rail of a 98c flatline barrel is? Also, if anyone knows, what are some scopes that work with it?

 i agree scopes would easily be broken also red dots can take a beating better than most low quality scopes

all i can say is, if you get a shot in the scope, its a **edited** to clean!!!!

i would know, i put one of my dads scopes on my gun, and he got pissed!!!

Okay thanks alot for replies. Thats what I meant by scopes too, a red dot scope. I was going to get this cheap one, an Adco Imp red dot sight. It was the cheapest one so I want to get it but I wasn't sure it fit on my gun.

ppl get scopes just for looks......

get a sight for sure though

Just stay away from lazer point sights. They damage other players eyes.

so....the point of editing the first curse was because.....

My personal opinion on the whole scope issue:

• Laser sights-generally useless
• Most aren't bright enough to be seen at any distance during the day
• The emitter however can give your position away
• Can cause eye damage if accidently flashed in someones eyes-I read something a while back about "safe" lasers but I haven't seen anything on that topic recently
• Magnifying scopes
• Useful in situations where you want to scout terrain ahead of you before moving through
• Generally not useful for any type of actual paintball engagement
• Usuage slows reaction time-might not be a factor in the rare cases where you're close enough to shoot but your opponent doesn't know you're there
• Usage can cause eliminations due to "tunnel vision"
• Red Dots-useful when used correctly
• Using with both eyes open avoids tunnel vision
• The ones with wider apertures make for quick target acquisition
• Very handy for getting first shots on target at longer ranges

For anyone that wants a red dot on their marker and doesn't want to spend a lot of money I always recommend the Daisy Max View.  It's inexpensive and has a very large aiming area which makes it easy to use.  I'm not a fan of ADCOs because I like to sight my red dots in so I'm shooting high at closer ranges (where I would just point and shoot without aiming anyway most of the time) and the shots drop back on target farther out.  Most of the ADCOs I've tried will not depress far enough to allow me to do this,

They make see through scope caps. They are tough enough to take a ball impact...at least at 30 ft or so where I tested mine. 

I have used all three types.

Laser sucked except when it was raining. It was pretty fun that one time. And we had someone use them against us in a night scenario. But you have to be shooting the distance you have the site set up for or you have to worry about ball drop. And then, it is like tracer fire, it works in both directions. Your using a laser, well I can see you, too.

Scope, just sucks period.

Red Dot site=best of the three. They are fairly decent for getting you relativly on target. Now you hear all these people talk how paintballs arent that accurate, but it gives you a point of reference. You aint gonna hit the little spot your ball is on, but if you have the right paint to barrel bore match and are shooting at the distance you have the site set for, you should be fairly on target.

I assume the 98 has the standard dove tail for the .22 rifles (dont know I dont own one, but my old Carbine was). If so, then I would get a cheap BB gun Red Dot site like the other gentleman said. The A5 however is the Weaver dove tail and is bigger than the standard. So you have to buy a more expensive site.
