    I'm looking to buy an Airsoft Sniper Rifle, and I want to know what you guys think are good rifles.
    I want a relatively cheap one, but good enough quality.
    I was looking at the Barret 50 Cal M82, but I think it is way too expensive.
    Are there any good online sites that I could get one off?

    My friend claimed that he got a very good rifle for €80 from a site based in China.

    Any suggestions?

    JG Bar-10 or TM VSR, the only rifles really worth buying unless you wanna spend more money to get them better.

    But if its your first gun - don't bother, get an AEG.

    Thanks for the tips, I did some research on both and they sound good.
    Have you used or tried one?
    How did you find it?

    I am also looking at getting either a TM VSR or JG BAR. Is it correct to say that the only difference between them is the TM hop and the TM brand name? How would accuracy compare to a stock CYMA M14?

    No, the TM is superior in every way, but the BAR10 offers good value for money and is easily the best budget bolt action rifle on the market.

    Comparing the accuracy of a bolt action to an AEG would be a bad comparison. Obviously the bolt action rifle will be far more accurate compared to any stock AEG, but the system is totally different. You're comparing apples to oranges.

    So despite the barrel being half as long, a boltie will give better accuracy?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Barrel length isn't everything. You don't increase an AEG's accuracy by lengthening the barrel, you do it by tightening the bore.
    An airsoft rifle is a system. Bolties work better than anything else because they can operate at much tighter tolerances and with better air seals.
