all stock it only shoot 320-350fps but you can reach out to 150ft (torso target) easily

Thanks ZULU...

Zulu Hit it right on.. effective range is what you are after.
and his Rule of Thumb (9/10 on torso Target @ Range) is Dead On.

In my mind you should always adjust the hop-up for a sniper rifle.
The stock Hop-up unit on an M-24 is touchy and can easily over Hop...
Use of a heavier weight BB is recommended (.28g+ ... I use .40g)

My MAX Effective Range on my M-24 is 220ft .. I wont even attempt a shot over 240ft.. to me its just not worth it. I mostly engage at ranges between 150ft - 200ft.

And to build an M-24 to meet an effective range of 200ft is not difficult.
