How to Choose the Correct Paintball Sniper Rifle For You

Assassins, Hitman, Wanted, and The Jackal, are the very best movies involving assassins who specialize in using sniper rifles to take our their prey.  If I ever went into one of the armed forced branches I find this job as a sniper would be the most intriguing of any. 

Often these snipers have to sit and wait for hours on end waiting in hideout position so as not to give away their position to apposing team.  This can require exteme discipline and patience. 

Snipers have an amzging job, hiding out in complete camouflage gear just waiting for the precise moment to take that perfect shot on their unsuspecting prey.  It's a bit of a dream of mine that I live out through the game of paintball for now.  In the past I loved dodging paintballs flying through the air, ducking behind trees and other obsticles, or diving into bunkers.  Now I revel in the quite tranquility of laying there all by myself with no one else around taking out my prey one person at a time. 

Over the years I have accumulated several paintball sniper markers.  I'm more partial to some than other.  The question is how do you know which sniper rifle is the right one for you? 

It doesn't matter if you buying a sniper marker or purchasing a sniper kit or complete package to upgrade the marker you already own, it's no small investment.  Paintball the sport, can get quite expensive, so when you start purchasing multiple sniper markers you need to make sure your investment is worth while. 

If you have one of more popular BT, Tippmann, T68, or Spyder markers, the majority of these markers can be upgraded with to a sniper caliber gun with a simple package or sniper kit.  If you are on a tight budget, this is what I recommend.  Oftne thse will work just as well as your custom built sniper rifles and it won't cost you an arm and a let to get one. 

On the downside, if you have a stainless steeel model gun this will not make a good upgrade candidate for a paintball sniper gun as the glare can be a dead give away of a snipers position on the battlefield.  You want to stick to a black or dark brown gun if you are going to go the upgrade path. 

When it comes time to purchase a paintball sniper rifle the best piece of advice I can give is to test out as many models as you can.  What feels right to someone, may not feel right to you.  It doesn't matter if the gun is the highest rate "best" sniper marker on the planet, if it doesn't feel good to you in your hands then you don't want it.  You have to be 100% confortable with your gun especially out on the battlefield.  After all it's not often that snipers get a second shot to mark their prey
