Really nice looking. Like the others said, scopes are pointless unless your trying to score pretty points. The digi-camo will look nice on it. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

i actualy do use the scope a lot whenever i'm doin longrage sniper shots, it's pretty accurate, by use'n the scope i can hit someone on the first shot, rather than take'n a few shots and adjusting ------------- http://model98.org/">

i think you should keep it black. black woodsball 98s are becoming rare around here lol. A Bi-pod would probably be nice for your setup. Other than that i really like it. ------------- X |

ya i thought about getting a bi-pod, a friend had one and let me use it for a day, was OK, little bit too much weight to the front though, and bulky, and the only way u can use em is if your aiming down hill, almost impossible to use them effectivly on flat ground or facing uphill ------------- http://model98.org/">

Nice, I like it. That is what I am trying to do to my
gun, except with a folding stock. Your gun looks really clean. Is it just brand new, or did you paint it? The all black parts are great, it makes it look like a real gun. Camo would break it up and you would loose the effect, in my opinion. The only thing I can say is, loose the scope and get a red dot. BTW, how do you use the scope when you have a mask on? I have a collapsable stock with that same sight rail and can't see through any sighting devices with my mask o ------------- Model 98C J&J 2P Palmers Stab.

wow no one likes the scope lol, it works great for me, there's just enough clearence with the stock to effectivly see through the scope, personaly i love it, and i dont plan on taking it off, actualy i've scraped off the paint in a lot parts, when i milled down the words "Tippmann 98 Custom"(not all the way but so they're a lot closer to the gun) i scraped some off in the front, its about 3 years old, and i go pretty often, i just dont dump it in mud or anything, clean it after every game, i wanna get camo cuz i play as a sniper a lot, hiding in bushes and ambushing ppl, and i noticed my gun is what realy sticks out, and is easily noticable, i got all digi camo so i want digi camo n my gin to match it ------------- http://model98.org/">

Yea i feel the same way as the other guys. I love the marker, you did an awsome job on the choices you made for upgrades, just that scope makes it look ugly... not sure it serves a prupose, but if you use it for aiming go with a Red Dot scope. -------------

what's wrong with the ricochet? its a great hopper, never had any problems with it, realy fast and yes deflection does work, ppl only think it doesnt cuz u never notice the ones that bounce, only the ones that hit, i've actualy tested the deflection, i set up the hopper on a stand and shot at it from different anges on different positions on the hopper, obviously side or back shots will break no matter what so i didnt bother testing that, what i did notice though was that when shooting from directly on, as long as the ball didnt hit the direct nose of the hopper, aproximately 50% of the balls did bounce, now i dont know how often you bet bounces on other hoppers but i have a sneaking suspision that it's not near as high as that (and yes i actualy sat in my backyard and put emptied a hopper onto my Ricochet) so why u would want say to loose the Ricochet i just dont understand ------------- http://model98.org/">

| i like the whole gun leave the scope i use one and they do help alot for long range and finding people in the woods like binoculars. i used mine to get 2 people down a open path in the woods and the took it off and notice a difference. the scope makes the gun look better too. |

Lose the Stock and the Scope, imo. Get a barrel sock instead of the plug, its more safe ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/outlawspaintball/index.htm - Outlaws *Sponsors* http://www.abrika.ca - Abrika |

very very nice is that a rear cocking system holding the scope up? lol a flatline would make that look teally nice, but its good enough how it is now, u can keep the drop if ur more of a light rifleman kinda person who runs point and everything, other then maby HPA no suggestions. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |

Accually he does have HPA. Take of the stock, scope, and get a better hopper. |

ya that is HPA, and i had the flatline, except it got scratched on the inside... so basicly a shotgun now, and no thats not a rear cococking system, i think your talking about the lapco dovetail ------------- http://model98.org/">

i just got that hopper, it's awesome, super fast, not as a fast as a halo but then again my fingers can only get up to 17bps on a superlight trigger, and with the RT i think i'm gett'n up to about 15-17, no reason to get any faster of a hopper, apache does 18-20bps, plus as i explained above, the ricochet evect actualy does work ------------- http://model98.org/">

I'd lose the scope. It makes the gun look weird. Otherwise the marker looks very sharp. You would look kind of weird with a scope in the middle of a sppedball game(if that's what you play).
