[Sniper101]

hello,

I am a consistant airsoft sniper. but i have always used my l96 style rifle but recently a friend broke it. and instead of repairing it iv decided to just go ahead and upgrade to a new one... i wanted some recommendations.
my cap is around $300.
i wanna know your recommendations.
i would also like a minimum of 500 fps.
spring or gas is not a huge issue but i would kinda prefer spring
and also if anyone knows any good rifles that are interchangeable from spring and gas id like to see those too.
i need a high powered one bc i am the guy whose laying on the ground in a ghillie from 200 feet out covering my team..

Hey buddy, you need to make an intro post. http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=25

 

[Sniper101]

what do u mean by that?

 

[Wolfgeorge]

He means that you should write something about you in the link he provided... An intro by you.
These are forum rules.

As for your question... It all depends on the base you're going to use and what upgrade you'll use.
The quality upgrade parts cost alot, in some cases more than the rifle itself.

As for easy swap spring-gas... I have one for sale! Check the link in my signature!!

I would suggest a vsr/m24/bar10 platform, I believe it has the biggest selection of mods and upgrade parts. Believe wolf when he says quality parts cost a lot! I could hit 1-2 grand easy

+1 to what rcon112 said.

You will need to spend a LOT of time tuning and building your gun to make it 'top of the range', but Cheeseman (a member of this forum) made a gun that hit targets at 150 yards 10/10.

You need the best barrel and hop up combination combined with good-grade heavy ammo with a velocity to match.

Good luck, building your own is the way to go.

 

[Cheese Man]

Just FYI, the rifle that Milo mentioned now hits a little farther (~190m), but it cost me $2000 and a little over 60 hours of tuning so far, and I'm not done yet.

What are your limits as far as velocity and ammo goes? There are two ways to go about this, the first is with a lot of fine tuning and low KE (between 1-2J), and the second way is absurdly high KE (about 9-10J) with steel bbs. The second way will get the bbs out farther, but it takes more time to get perfect and a lot of fields won't let you use a rifle like that. The first way is also cheaper, because you need almost no parts upgrades.

A&K SVD Dragonov
Its awesome, cheap (Evike),
Great Range, Shoots straight, and hurts like hell at close range.

 

[Sniper101]

what do you mean by "KE"?

i also wanna know what gun u guys would recommend?
or just upgrade the l96 and not worry bout a new gun?

 

[Cheese Man]

Mikey - Please make an intro post and refrain from talking about hurting others.

Sniper101 - Please watch your grammar and punctuation.

KE is kinetic energy, and as for the recommendation, there are recommendations all over the place. Just look for them.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Hey Cheeseman, (this may be slighty off topic, and I apologize if so) I was just wondering what the base rifle was for that 190m rifle?

hello,
i am a top of the line sniper.
i am a 4 year veteran. but i have always used my l96 style rifle but recently a friend broke it. and instead of repairing it iv decided to just go ahead and upgrade to a new one... i wanted some recommendations.
my cap is around $300.
i wanna know your recommendations.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I feel it has to be said. Boasting will get you nowhere and the fact that you still think that the high fps setup will get you more range tells me you don't know that much about how your rifle works. I run my rifle on 350-ish fps with .3s and I get about 300ft of usable range, and if I ran it on 550 I would still get that same range.

Now that I have that out of the way I suggest you get a VSR style rifle, namely a bar10. It has a large selection of upgrades and while you won't be able to switch between spring and gas, you won't need to.

Please use better grammar too. Forum rules. We try to keep it professional around here.

Are the specs/parts list for this available anywhere? I know that there is tuning involved too, I am mostly just curious as to parts used.

Edit: I mean the 1-2 j rifle

 

[Sniper101]

@ cheeseman.
I am sorry about that and will make sure to mind my grammar from now on.

@ masterjuggler98
I was not boasting, I was simply stating that i am not an introductory level sniper, and that I know what I am doing.
I just haven't personally upgraded a rifle myself and haven't used any other rifle than my l96 so i wanted some recommendations.
Thank you anyways.

 

[Cheese Man]

Sniper - the rifle is a p* M4, though in the past it has been a Tanaka M700 or a CA M24. Don't try this at home, BTW, I am running ~14J and it has quite a few custom-made parts.

Phantom - The parts list? It was 99% stock, only had a madbull 6.03, ER-hop and an M110 IIRC.

 

[Sniper101]

-Cheeseman
Where do you buy from?

 

[Cheese Man]

My parts? Anywhere, really... I try and buy from airsoftfix, but they don't have a lot of stuff in stock...

 

[Sniper101]

-Cheeseman
Thanks, I've been trying to find a good site to buy from.

 

[Sniper101]

What airsoft sniper rifle would you recommend if I decided to buy new instead of upgrading my old one.

 

[MiloXC3]

Tokyo Marui VSR-10 or a Maruzen L96 (or clone) if you want spring.
Tanaka (AICS L96, M700 or M24) or KJW M24 (cheaper) if you want gas.

Those are the popular choices and you will find lots of help on them.
