If you want to turn your marker into a realistic military replica sniper paintball gun, you will need certain elements.  Start with a barrel that’s at least 18” or longer.  The next most essential gear for your sniper is a high powered sight or scope – attached to your paintball gun with a mount.  First decide how you want to mount your scope, then choose what fits your gun best.  Finally, don’t forget your bipod for a sure, steady shot.

How you attach a sniper scope to your paintball marker will not only give character to your gun but can make all the difference in getting the most from your optics.  This means you should pay careful attention to the type of ‘mount’ you choose. 

A mount is a small metal piece that attaches to your gun and is what a scope/sight bolts onto.  Most mounts come in a standard size but not every mount will fit on every paintball marker, however they will work with nearly all tactical paintball guns.  

Depending on the type of gun you have, most mounts attach to the carry handle or somewhere on the handguard.  Offset mounts are best for mounting sniper scopes, as they will separate/offset the scope away from the hopper, ensuring it’s not in the way of the optics.  Some mounts, like the Sidewinder Scope Mount and the Dual Universal Offset Mount offer several surfaces you can attach accessories to.

At ChoicePaintballGuns.com, we’ve amassed an amazing collection of sniper paintball guns, kits and accessories.  Customize your tactical paintball marker by adding an offset mount, an 18” rifled barrel and sniper bipod.  If you’re not sure if a particular mount will fit on your gun, contact us at questions@choicepaintballguns.com and we will make sure you get a perfect match.
