How to Choose the Correct Paintball Sniper Rifle For You

I've seen all the great movies involving assassins who use sniper rifles to take out their unsuspecting victims - Assassins, Hitman, Wanted, the Jackal, etc. I always thought if I ever did go into the military that the job of a marksman or sniper would be extremely fascinating.

I understand it would take extreme patience, as these snipers can sit out in there hideout for hour and hours not being able to move a muscle so as not to give away their position to the enemy, but it would be amazing nonetheless.

There is just something about hiding out, completely camouflage, waiting for that perfect shot to take out someone who never sees it coming. For now I live out my fantasy through paintball as a sniper. I used to love running around, dodging "bullets", diving into ditches and hiding behind trees and other obstacles, but now I love the calm and peacefulness of sitting all by my lonesome where nobody is around and taking out targets one by one.

I have several paintball sniper rifles, some I love more than others. But how do you find one that is right for you? Let's be honest, whether you are buying a sniper rifle or you are purchasing a sniper kit or package to upgrade the gun you already have, you are making no small investment. Paintball is not a cheap sport to begin with, but when you start buying multiple sniper rifles you want to make sure you are getting your money's worth.

If you have one of the more popular Tippmann guns, most of these can be upgraded to a sniper level gun with a simple kit or package. This is what I recommend if you are on a budget. In some cases these can work just as well as your custom built sniper rifle and at a fraction of the cost. One thing to avoid is if you have a stainless steel or otherwise shiny gun, this will not make for a candidate to be a good a paintball sniper rifle upgrade. The whole idea is to be undetectable. If your opponent sees bling bling coming from a reflection your position is compromises and you will be out of the game soon.

The best thing to do when choosing a paintball sniper rifle is to test out multiple models. The best gun for one person may not exactly be the best gun for someone else. I've tried out some of the supposedly "best" rifles on the market and they just didn't feel right to me compared to some others I've tried and tested. Try out multiple guns and scopes to get one that "feels right" to you. This is the most important thing. You have to be totally comfortable with your gun knowing that when you take the shot it will reach the target on the first try. Snipers don't get second chances to hit their mark.
