In terms of barrel you have several selections. First the flatline. To start of the barrel is loud due to lack of porting, but that can be fixed with a barrel extension from paintballsnipersupplies.com. I have found it to be accurate, that is if you install it correctly. My only prob is that at distances of about 50+ yards the balls stat to curve(in an open area with a little wind), but other barrels cant even reach that far. My vote is flatline. But there are other barrels out there. I have heard many good things about the JJ ceramic and smart parts all American. If you want to spend some serious money go with the freak system by smart parts.

Next to getting a new barrel, getting some kind of reg is the next important thing. I will indorse only 2 regs. If you shoot co2 get a palmer stabilizer. If you have nitro get a sidewinder. They aren’t the best looking but they are the best proforming. Also you are a sniper looks really don’t matter. Don’t even bother with a x-chamber, they are not nearly as good as these regs. Also if you want to expand and regulate the gas be sure to expand before you regulate.

A new barrel and reg are the two most important things. After that I would say you would want to look into some kind of stock and some kind of sight. Pro-team makes a bad a$$ stock for the m98. There is one prob with it though; it is hard to get your face down on the gun. I overcame this by having the flatline shroud and some raised scope mounts. There are also many other T style stocks that are lower. Labco makes a good stock/drop-forward. Now sights. I’m not all that knowledgeable on sights but there are two basic types red dot and magnifying. I really can’t suggest one over the other, it mainly personal preference.

Also, you might want to silence the gun cause the m98 is loud. Go to M98center.com for some tips.
I hope this helped. If you want to know my 98c has a flatline barrel, pro-team car stock, and barrel extension, 2.5 x scope, stabilizer and remote. I do consider myself a sniper. If you are really into sniping look into making a ghillie suit. Also e-mail me if you want to learn about a ba sniper group.
