well i have both myself, and enjoy both of them. but then again its all on the person behide the marker. to all out there just make sure you are always having fun as your shooting paint at people and your friends

I've got the 98 custom. Had it for 4 or 5 years and only used it a few times. Was a Christmas gift from the wife, came from Walmart. Shame on me for not getting out and playing.

I think I oh ready did this, but I have a 98, 98 custom, 98 custom A.C.T., Project Salvo (the guts are a 98) so pretty much I only use a 98, hoping to get a couple more (Alpha Black and Carver One). And of now me and my team decided to make it a mandatory rule that everyone on the team should have a Tippmann 98 style marker.

I have a purple m98, i guess it came that way from the factory. My friend says its at least 12 years old and still shoots fine.

I own a model 98. I purchased used@ a pawn shop and have owned it for about 2+ yrs. The only thing I ve had to replace is the ball latch. I think the durability of this marker from my paintball experience (5+yrs, own 10 different markers) exceeds all. I am currently looking into getting a 98C for the modification potential.
