ya man, im a good sniper. sumtimes i get a lil trigger happy

but i cant afford A-5 right now, plus you can get everything i want on a 98 custom.    The guns i have right now are from when i started in the fall.  I have a cheap Orion gun from Wal Mart   Works ok tho.

I have a pirahna EXT E Force. And my newest is a Prodidgy.    I bought those guns for mostly messin around with. Im finally getting good enough for the snipa guns

i personaly like the 98c sniper package better .. i
have that gun .. and i had a choice of a 98c wit flatline
and stock and remote or the A-5 wit the flatline ... the
98c sniper is cheaper and is just as good only
difference is the cyclone loader which uses ur CO2
faster ... so u could just get a halo hopper and a R/T
if ur worried about shooting faster

snipers dont shoot fast. so you might as well get the a-5 with flatline then a car stock

BOTH are great markers

The 98c will be a little easier on the wallet, both to buy, and to upgrade.

 I highly suggest buying either marker STOCK. Play with it like that for a while, and learn the feel of it. then decide what you'd like to change about the existing performance, and THEN choose your upgrades.

Buying a package is alright, but you migt find stuff on there that you don't want or need. I bought an A-5 with an E-grip that I never use. I spent the money on it, and it turned out to be not quite what I wanted.

Save yourself a little cash, buy stock. Play stock, then upgrade little by little, when you can afford to, and only what you think you'd like to have.
