If I were you, I would get the Phantom. Phantoms are sweet guns and are very reliable. I myself have a Tippmann 98 Custom, but I have shot a Phantom. Though I'm not sure what kind, or model, it was. It was great, the balance was pretty good too. It's a good sniper rifle for the aspiring sniper, or for that matter the experienced one. I must say that I enjoyed the 10(ten) minutes or so that I shot it for. If you want a reliable, durable, accurate, and beautiful gun... go with the Phantom.

I know Phantoms are good but have you ever shot a Armson?
I ve heard that an Armson is lighter in weight and a little more accurate.

Well I personally find that a bit heavier gun is more steady for a sniper gun. Or so I have found with continous trial and error.

I suggest if your going to add a scope to your gun buy the heavier gun, it does keep your hand steadier.

The phantom is the best pump gun period. The accuracy of the se guns are amazing. When I got my gun and shot it in back yard, I thought I was dreaming. I could stack every ball on top of each other and none were out of a 3" range with about 20 shots. The phantom is the only gun Ive seen that has a use for a site since nothing else has accuracy close to it.

Can you get a strap for the phantom like the straps that you see on pro-lites and procarbines?

I definately say to go with the Phantom. I bought one as my first gun. I know for some might think that it can be a bit pricy but I tell u it was worth it. I had only rented semis at the fields I was playing at and I felt the game needed something more. I decided on a Phantom. I had never played pump before so I was a bit nervous before getting it, hoping I would like playing pump. Once I got it and got the pump and shoot thing down, it totally ROCKED!!! It has the most range and accuracy out of any gun I have ever seen, including some cockers and some high end electros. With some practice I now play against electros and semis and I can hold my own. And as far as the ROF issue, with the autotrigger I can almost shoot as fast as my bros Spyder. Go for the Phantom man, its well worth it.

P.S.-I would suggest an alternate air source such as a bottomline or verticle. Get the 14in barrel and the really nice anodizing if u can afford it.
