Title: Cheap reliable marker
Post by: ViciouZ on September 03, 2007, 12:12:04 PM: I'm looking for a reliable, upgradeable marker I can use for recreational play. I want to buy it from www.justpaintball.co.uk. Basically my current thoughts are:

http://www.shop.justpaintball.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Tippmann_98_Sniper_Barrel.html

It has to be under £180 total... can someone help me pick something that is accurate and reliable? It's a bit of a tight budget but I don't play that much.
