05 superstock autococker Shocker And Freestyles are pretty close to your price range.
Try as many markers in your price range as you can to see what fits you best. You'd be surprised how many people at the field will let you atleast hold or shoot their guns if you ask.

check out the new Smart Parts ION, it is only 300, and it gets like 17 bps and is darn accurate, and with the extra money u could buy some upgrades, such as nitro which u will need for any high end gun and maybe a new barrel and definitley a hopper

the omen trigger is so funny feeling. its hard to describe.
look at older angels. some models from 2000-2002 can go for only 400$. Then get it T.A.G.ed (new board, breakbeam eyes, and full cleaning) and its faster then all of todays guns.
or maybe a e-mag. a nice one can be found for 500-600$.

Otto i wanted electros not mech. and whats the "timing" that the people
say about the cocker on pbreview? they all say the same thing about the
timing. adn would it be better to go with the Cocker and slowly buy air
and hopper and stuff for it or get the Ion(which looks a lot better in
life than it does in pictures) and get air and a hopper for it all at
once. so in short, should i go with the cocker and not be able to use
it while i save for air and hopper or get the ion, air and hopper at
the same time? adn which has the better upgrade potential?

prostocks can, not sure about superstocks. You get what you pay for with paintball guns most of the time and an autococker has limitless upgrades, unparreled accuracy, and can outshoot an ion any day. i say get it right the first time and buy the superstock and replace only one gun, not another 6 months later when you want something better than an ion.

Timing is the sequencing of valves opening and closing in an autococker
being tuned to get the best preformance out of the marker. It is
crucial to have a properly timed autococker or its going to leak,
missfire, or not work at all.
