my 98c has extremely inconsistent velocity all of a sudden. I tried adjusting it with a full tank of air and replaced my front and rear bolt o-rings. I know my RT and loader arent causing it because it worked fine in the past. Any ideas of what could be causing it?

You use CO2?

Sounds like plain old freeze/shootdown/liquid-in-gun.

Play in warmer weather, shoot slower, or get nitro. A remote or Stabilizer may also help.

your using co2 I assume?
how cold was it outside?(velocity can be very much affected by temperature)
do you have any regs-expansion chambers-remote lines you use?

if your shooting fairly fast with no regs,ex chambers etc, velocity will be all over the place.

take apart gun, reoil everything replace ALL orings and see what happens i guess...sorry for the sorta cruddy answer.
