What gun setup would make a better sniper weapon? Custom 98 with flatline, etc, or an a-5 with a flatline, etc?

Well, i'd go with the A-5 just because its a better marker.  I heard that the A-5 Flatline barrel is also easier to install.  But the main thing is price.  How much money do you have?  We can go from there.  Also, the flatline is all its cracked up to be, read the Flatline Sticky post before you buy.

My Marker - Tippmann 98 Custom with: 14" Empire Twister, Double Trigger, Lightened Trigger Spring, Expansion Chamber, and 20oz tank. Coming Soon: CAR Stock, Rocket Cock 2, R/T Kit, and J&J Ceramic

my opinion

98 custom
hyperstar bolt
16"winforce barrel
rocket cock II
car stock
camo covers(tank and hopper)
4+1 camo harness
coiled remote
Crossfire 47ci/3000psi nitro

I think the 98 is a better over all gun but from what your asking sounds liek you want the A-5

The A5 with flatline is considerably easier to use, clean, etc. The flatline is very temperamental, and on any given day you might want to switch barrels midday. Doing this on a 98C is much more of a pain in the ass in the field then on an A5.

The 98C flatline is 14" versus the A5 flatline which is about 9". The A5 is lighter, and easier to clean with exception to the cyclone. It also has more options for higher rates of fire down the line.
