I say go for an SSG10 and and do minor upgrades instead, as nearly everything in an SSG10 is structurally very solid, and exactly as good or even better than upgrade parts.
If you spend $20-100 on an SSG10 in parts, you'll have something the same as $300-600 in parts in a BAR-10 or VSR-10. You may not spend that all at once, but in the future things will begin to break and cause issues and you will eventually eclipse the price of a mildly modified SSG10.

hey silicone! I amnew here. I am looking to get into airsoft, I wnt to snipe and my research puts me toward a tm gspec vsr , or a ssg10 a1, or a3. I dont want to have headaches but i want to minor upgrades aand good performance. u say go with ssg10, is a1 or a3 version better? i was thinking a3.. money not an issue too much.

also its better to get the small barrel version correct?
what mods do u suggest and what scope is good just the 1-4x from nov is good?

I found a short barrel ssg10 a3 used for 450 (shipping included), is that good deal? is the 25 yr part guarantee transferrable u think? or just buy new since i cant inspect it(online) to make sure the bucking or some stuff is good??

The A1 and A3 have only two differences, that being the stock and bolt handle. Unless you have $150 to spend for very little improvement I'd go for the A1. Having held many VSRs and an A3 I think that the A1 style is less likely to feel complicated or snagging on stuff when you're trying to go fast.

I'd get a new A1 and then from a different site I'd buy a Maple Leaf 2021 70° Autobot and some ArchWick/ASG, Action Army, or Slong mags as they're cheaper and hold more than SSG10 mags. Other than that, be sure to use .48g BBs.

Thank you! So thats all no other upgrades i need to get started? i thought every1 puts bucking or something to help accuracy
