2nd Marker suggestions for ones under $550

[TigerMan]

Well I've managed to save up a nice sum of money to buy a second marker to go along with my Angel, and I wanted to hear some suggestions on markers you think be good choice for a secondary/backup type (and please don't just go mag, mag, mag). Markers I've been looking at mainly are Imps. I've also though been contemplating selling my Angel and going for something like an Intimidator, or if I could catch a good deal on one, an Xmag. So if you could just give me your input, that be great. Thanks!

I would say anything mechanical like a mag or a cocker. I think it's always good to have a mechanical back up just in case of it rains or something you know? Just my opinion

yeah that makes sense. I would say mag or cocker also.

i would buy a mag,of course thats the only gun ive owned besides a spyder and a brass eagle. i like mags because even wihtout upgrades, just stock, they are still really good markers.

if i had 550 for a 2nd gun ide deff. buy an Ans gx-3 cocker. i Really want a cocker as a back up or something to mess around with

[Fatjon]

Id say a black magic cocker or a STO

Get a nice X-valved mag with Intelliframe...

[Paintchucker]

Simple mechanical retro lx valved mag. You could probably even put a ULE body on it for that price... A good ole trusty mag: add 2-3 drops of oil, air and paint. :)

Unless you are real good at keeping a cocker timed, I would shy away from that as a backup gun.

I'm going to go against the grain here, and make the suggestion of a 2K3 Bushmaster with PDS. They rock, you can get them with 'Cocker threads, and (IMO) they look great.

BTW, my Bushmaster didn't give me any problems in the rain at AO NE III.

[Automaggin2]

genx3!!

[cphilip]

RT Pro that now comes with Level 10 and Intelliframe...

It will outshoot anything so far mentioned. And not chop...

You may need about 40 more bucks but you said to recommend what I thought was best. So there you have it.

[devingoode]

if you want a back up electro i would say the ICD Bushmaster 2k3 PDS but for a mech i think a used RT Pro would do good.

I've got up to about $800 really, but I didn't want to spend it all on a 2nd marker, but I may if I find something I really want. I really want something that's chrome/silver. Do the RT Pro's have the option of low rise vert feeds new?
