Hypercardioid mic suggestions

[Craque <craque@metatronpress.com>]

Hi Loopers,

I have a quandry. What do folks here recommend as a good hypercardioid 
microphone? Essentially I'm interested in the narrowest possible polar 
pattern to enable better direct pickup of a sound with the least amount
of other sounds coming through.

Obviously this depends partially on mic placement, but I wonder if people
have had better luck with some models than others in getting an extremely
directional pattern - maybe I need to look into rifle mics?

This would be my first step into the world of high-end microphones, so any
advice from loopers who sample live instruments and/or objects would be
appreciated.

Thanks!
