Sniper vs Pathfinder vs Progressive

[Rudolfski]

Hi, i want to buy a barrel for my Tippmann 98. Since my budget is low i want to choose between these barrels:

- Sniper 14” Barrel Tippmann C98
- Barrell Tippmann 98 Pathfinder 14”
- Barrel Smart Parts Tippmann 98C Progressive 14”

I did read much reviews on the barrels, but i can't find anything that explain the difrences between the barrels. The first 2 are from tippmann, what is the diffrence between those 2. (Maybe 1 shoots more accurate, but why do they sell the other barrel also (same price)).

And what would you guys buy if you where to choose between the barrels???

thanks

Well, think of it this way. If you are happy with the way tippmann makes products, then get a tippmann barrel. But if you want to see how else other companies products perform, then get the smart parts.

I used to own a progressive, but sold it. I was happy with it, it shot nice, but when the ports got plugged it shot terrible.

by the way:
do you have a link to each individual barrel?

Out of those on your list, I say go with the Proggressive. In other realms, 14" J&J Ceramic.

J&J. It costs just as much as the others, and will be just as good, if not better.

They supposedly don't make the Pathfinder anymore. I've seen the J&J Ceramic for $30 and lower. I've also seen the J&J S2 for $35.
