Yes, very. You can't beat them for out of the box, shoot all day everyday without a problem. Just remember to clean and oil it often while breaking it in, and daily after that. The only thing you might want to look at is an aftermarket barrel because the stock barrel is not so great. It will improve your accuracy and range alot.

Yeah, ever see that movie Unbreakable? A 98 was up for the role, but bruce willis took it.

Anyway, yeah, the paintball place here uses them, only cleans them at the end of the season.

just clean em regularly and keep the paint and oils of the outside covers cause sometimes the oil and paint can crap up the outside.

They are VERY Durable and reliabel but i can think of one even more so The older sibling to the 98c All the Carbine series guns.  There Freaking TANKS in comparison.

I have had a 98c and now i have a Procarbine.  The 98c was prettey mutch as tough as a marker will ever have too be but NOTHING is tougher than the Carbine.

Oh Automags are pretty tough too but i only have had mine for a few weeks so i not gona gudge em yet.

bear claw in my experience i think the mag is more reliable, but at the same time a much high precision is needed for it to function properly (bascially, its more reliable as long as you dont screw around with it trying to do "trigger jobs" and the sorts)
