N.O.I.P.

Snipers are elite and who doesn't want to be elite, unfortunetly I had to settle for exceptional

I'd say anything by Tanaka provided you make sure its under 1Joule

If someone wants to just plink some targets then a bolt action is ideal. AEGs are just too loud if you live close to other people.

If it's for skirmishing though, It's a bad idea. I'd suggest an AEG to anyone starting off. Much more fun. Plus if you really want to, you can switch it to semi and hide in a bush somewhere.

I would imagine they do but I haven't a clue what it is (Tanaka.com?) just check out UNcompany or Redwolf to see what they have.

Its probably much easier to get a TM VSR though.

VSR-10 with a 1 joule spring and nice scope would do you. With a Tanaka you have to worry about gas, power limits...expensive mags..not to mention they cost a fortune.

Best to try out the VSR-10 first. Plus it's made by Tokyo Marui so it's good quality.

They have them on www.ehobbyasia.com

G-spec version which comes with a scope mount rail and silencer.

or if you want better value you could go for the VSR clone from HFC the USR11.

Still have to skirmish it but happy enough with it. Should have it out this weekend.

Get back ye clone heathen! *attacks Gandalf with a crucifix*

I've heard good things about that USR11. Would be interested to see a side by side comparison with a VSR at HRTA sometime.

Hey Markspi, if you want a sniper rifle but also an AEG, i just got the AGM M14 from Eirsoft. Its handy if you want both as you can mount a scope and use semi auto for targets etc, but can switch to full auto for skirmishes. Its a very nice rifle also and if you have the extra to spend, TM do an M14 also which would be better quality. There is a link here to a Marui one on uncompany: Link

I would recommend it if you are unsure however, its my first airsoft kit so i cant compare it to others, but its a very nice rifle.

Looking at some of the sniper rifles on RSOV

I like the
Jing Gong BAR10A
'Well' L96 sniper rifle Green with bipod and scope.

The problem seems to be they are a bit too powerful to import? Can RSOV downgrade the springs to make them legal?

The TM VSR10 is a nice looking rifle and the stock power is bang on. Reviews are also very positive. I think the G spec with the silencer seems to be the favoured version.

Nalced_irl

I was looking at the L96 actually before. Looks very nice but over the 1j limit. Very affordable also so its a pity. If it can be downgraded to 1j would be a good one tho id say.

davvowl

if you can afford it i suggest you wait up a little, star is going to release a gas powered aw338, and i think it comes with a scope, and maybe even a bipod ! o_O
