I'd have to go with the bko unless you can find something else in the classifieds, I've seen a few RTs under $350 actually...

I also think the Bko- http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/010-3025-1.html
263 bucks

And compressed air- http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/031-3003.html
80 bucks
So thats about 350ish. The bottle will only hold about 500 shots but that should be good for one game in a tourny.

I think he would be better off looking for a used tank in the classifieds. Also he might want to look into a new reg for the 2nd upgrade after a barrel.

Ya I got the TKO package awhile back and I like it, but it cant compare with a shocker,impy, or bko out of the box.

shockers are heavy, and if you dont have good paint-barrel match the balls roll. So if hes on the tourney scene and has to use certain paint he might have to get a multi-bore system(aka $100+). Impys are nice im sure u can find a used one for that price and a anti-siphon CO2 tank(works just fine!). I see a lotta BKOs being traded or sold....(think of that what you want). Obviously youll get some bias to mags on a *think* Automag forum! So id read some reviews. and look for good used deals.(<--good way to get nice markers!)

USED GUNS USED GUNS USED GUNS!

I picked up my 2k1 angel for $400, thats about $50 off, trust me the deals are out there, you just gotta find them.

I would go with the impulse or a bko.

USED ALL THE WAY. You can get a great mag with a good HPA tank for about what he has to spend.
