Tippmann 98 Custom OR Custom Pro?

Hi right now I have a Tippmann A-5 modified, and looking into buying either the 98 custom or the custom pro. Which do any of you think is better?

depends on if you want a faster or not. I'm not really a fan of the reactive triggers.

what do you plan on using it for? a backup marker or just something to loan out?

Back up gun... yes

Pretty much, My A-5 is basically as I want it now... I just want to buy a back up gun just in case mine decides to get clogged with balls one day or something. Which it hasn't happen yet but soon I bet. I mean my friend has a stock 98 custom I just don't know the difference between the 98 and the custom pro?

the custom pro has a reactive trigger. it uses co2 to return the trigger instead of a spring.

you shouldn't ever need a backup to any tippman, but go for a standard 98 custom. actually, fin one that's used because the new ones being made aren't as good of quality anymore.

Huh sry martix but I think the custom pro doesn't have a response trigger. Actually both are the same markers, the PRO add to the 98 a longer barrel (11') a double finger trigger and a drop forward, not much...

Quote:
The Custom Pro also has the ability to accept the Flatline™ Barrel System, Sniper barrels, the Response™ Trigger System, E-Trigger, collapsible stock, rear-cocking system, vertical adapter kit, vertical and expansion chamber kit and the low pressure system.
Found this on the tippmann website. It has the ability to accept the response trigger, but it is not installed.

Quote:
The black Custom Pro™ comes standard with upgrades such as an 11-inch high-performance stone-honed barrel for better accuracy, a double-trigger for better control and faster firing and a drop forward.
From tippmann website again, proving what I am saying.

Back to thread, both are the same markers, sure the stock barrel is a bit more accurate, and the drop forward and the double finger trigger feels better to me, but I think thoses upgrades are really worth the money, for only 20$ more, but that's up to you, everything depends on your personnal feeling.

But remember both will shoot the same.
