Getting back into paintball - what marker to get?

[Pebbles]

Dear all,
I've been out of the game for a few years now and want to get back playing.
I've got a budget of up to £350 and want to know what marker everybody would recommend?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

For that price range i'd reccomend getting an Empire Axe, solid gun but i find the grips abit dodgy on them

Lot of choice at that money. Personally, I'd be looking at an Ego 10, or maybe an 11 if you got lucky. Geo 2s should also fall in budget, as well as NTs and DM9,10,11. Axes are also very nice markers at that money.

Thanks guys, I quite like the Axe as it seems quite good value for the money, does anyone know if you can change the grips? Do the Mini's grips fit as there's a selection out there.
What was wrong with them (the grips) PBWill? I do also like the look of the Ego 10, do they come with the cure bolt automatically?
Thanks again for getting back to me.

Older ego for sure, you'll be very happy with a 10 or 11

Cure bolt is standard on the Ego 10

The grips on the axe are not for everyone, they have a weird deisgn to it so you cant wrap your handle around the grip, its not circular, more like an elongated cylinder, most people are ok with it but i hate it

I returned back to paintball after a lot of years out and picked up a virtually new Axe off the forum. Superb entry/mid marker, easy to maintain and I didnt even notice there being anything funny about the shape of the grips. Couple that with a previously enjoyed carbon bottle and a hopper like a Halo V35 and you have a reasonable set up for not a lot of money.

Thanks again everyone, also to alexd for your kind offer, really appreciated.
Cheers

Here's a good example of the sort of marker out there for £350 or under! (I have no connection ith the seller, but that is a stone cold bargain!)
