Are you a fan of paintball but not so keen on buying a brand new rifle for you hobby? You now have the alternative to make your own rifle which will be more affordable in comparison to purchasing one from your local shop. It is not that hard to build one from scratch - continue to read this article in order to find out what it takes to do it yourself.

The first step you will need to accomplish is also the most important one - choosing the marker (the gun itself with other words). We strongly advise you to choose a reliable as well as upgradable model that it fits in your budget, don't exaggerate by spending a lot of money, it just not worth it. Once you have established this, your next choice will be choosing a suitable barrel. The barrel variety is quite generous; starting from 14 to a 22 size, something in the middle should do the trick for most guns. If you can afford, a very good upgrade should be a long range scope but make sure to pick one that is suitable for your marker and of course, you feel comfortable with.

Next step to accomplish is to add the air that will propel the paintballs and you are just about ...
... done. However, the upgrades list is long (if you can afford it). If you want to go over your budget you could add a bi pod and a buttstock. The first one will aid you while aiming as well as in holding the rifle steady for a longer period of time. If you want to carry more weight you could attach a hopper, the choice is up to you. A hopper can hold up to 200 paintballs which can prove to be very useful in the nick of time. High-quality paintballs are less likely to break in the barrel of the paintball sniper rifle so choose your ammo wisely.

Adding a red dot scope can prove to be very handy in a close combat environment. Getting camouflage will provide greater efficiency to your combat. As you can see, the list of upgrades is large, if you have the budget - the upgrades will worth every penny if you choose wisely. Building a paintball sniper rifle from 0 can be time consuming but the money you will be saving plus the satisfaction of making something with your own hands is way better.

Experts in the domain recommend getting a remote kit as it will allow you to significantly lighten your marker and as a result, it will allow you to crawl faster and bring your marker to bear faster. Last but not least, almost all paintball markers have a very similar effective range (even 200ft is not that far, and you probably will not hit them from that range,) a paintball sniper rifle must get close to the one shot kill, which means that you are well within the enemies range.

All things considered, paintball is a fun sport and practicing your hobby with your own hand built paintball sniper rifle can be more than rewarding. However, great attention and care should be invested when purchasing a paintball sniper rifle.
