Just started out

Hi there, been to a couple of different sites now and really enjoying this sport, used to mountain bike but had to give up because of an injury, was looking at investing in my own gun and wondering what you pros thought of the bt omega as a starter. I want something that's good but also as a replica.

Welcome. I have a bt4 omega,used it for a while now and i love it. The few little nags i have about it are the weight. And if you try to aim down the sights my mask gets in the way. Also if you try to play speedball with it, Its completely out classed. But having said that I'm not getting rid of it any time soon.

Thanks nick i think thats the one then. Found a complete starter kit for £150 incl tank, hose and mask. Is this a fair price?

I think so i paid about that for mine but it didn't come with a hose. If i can give you some advice phoneup the guys you want to buy from and have a chat with them and shop around. Most UK based shops seem to be ok. Or try the guys endorsed by the forum. I got my kit from a france based company but i really wasn't impressed with the service i got. Oh well. You live and learn lol

depends what the mask is and the tank.

What is a hose? Do you have a link to the deal?

Welcome

Well worth investing extra in a good mask

Hold off on spending your money on new stuff. Investigate the classifieds here, go to events and ask people about their markers. They'll all be happy to talk to you, even let you have a shot over the chrono.

Listen to Dusty ^^

Markers that are 2-3 years old, are still extremely good. There's nothing wrong with picking up a used marker.
