Its a good marker and the Apex will add range but i personaly found it front heavy with the bipod on, not overall heavy just front heavy.
An Assault with an Apex tip would give u the same result or a Swat with an Apex all good markers and all capable of reaching out with a Flatline or an Apex
Easier maintenance than the 98C, good barrel for distance (it will out shoot a flatline) and its a tough bugger. The Assault is a little cheaper and will work just as well. (Just add the APEX Tip to the BT-16 barrel.) Here's what I'm talking about.
