I'm seriously considering using a Phantom, after seeing the reliability, accuracy and low ammo consumption on many occasions. I like the look of a stock class one, with the 12 gram CO2s and the compactness of them, but how hard would It be to reload a 10 or 15 round tube in the middle of a game? I figured a "45 round" (because it actually holds about 65) hopper would be better suited, since I play good-sized woods games against people with semis, and I doubt that I could hit with at least half of the shots. If the tubes are relatively easy to reload, I'll go stock, but if they are kind of a pain, can you get "45" round hoppers to fit on them?

You can order a right left or center feed body and put an elbow and any standard hopper on. I have a VSC and I got an extra right feed body I can use if I want instead of the stock tube.

Yeah, $35 or so will get you a gravity fed breech. I'd go ahead and get a stock class phantom and then pick up the extra breech.

at www.cooper-t.com in their sheridan section they have a gravity-feed adapter that looks like it slips onto a stock-class tube so you can put a hopper on there and it's only nine bucks but i would suggest eventually getting the gravity feed breech.
