Okay so I've kind of done the reverse path of getting board of AEGs and preferring the sniper role. I actually started with a Cybergun L96 clone crap and despite the terrible weapon, still loved the sniper role. After seeing that upgrading the gun was nearly impossible, I decided I'd try out an AEG. As much as I love the short CQB rounds at my local arena, I love the low mainenence, ready anytime, BB conserving, quiet role of stalking and taking out my enemies with a couple shots versus dumping 300 round 4 high caps on people.
Anyways, I'm fairly familiar with airsoft guns, and no enough to get around about sniper rifles. However there is always much more to learn. I'm only looking to spend $200 right now, which I know doesn't go very far when building a true marksmanship rifle, but it's all I can do at the moment. I want to atleast get the platform and maybe a scope for now, and then I'll slowly drop more money into upgrades and such. I've done a lot of research, and I think I have narrowed it down to 4 choices. I'm moreso going for performance over looks, but I do prefer the look of the classic hunting rifle look such as the M24s and BAR-10s. Though as I said, I would choose performance and durability over aesthetics. I will list the 4 I'm looking at and say why I like them an font like them, and then hopefully people can chime in and help me choose the best for me.
1 The one I'm most considering is the Javeline M24 as seen here: http://www.airsoftgi.com/mobile/product_info.php?cPath=139_113&products_id=7153
For $190, I'm getting the gun and a scope. I love the looks of the gun, and it seems to be the best quality I can find for under $200. I'm wondering how it performs stock though. Anyone have any experience? It won't be stock for too long, but I'd like it to be accurate enough to tide me over until I can throw upgrades in it.
2. A close second is the JG BAR-10. From what I've read it is a good platform, but feels toyishly light. It's a little cheaper than the above gun. Once again, how does it perform stock?
3. Next I was looking at the snow wolf M24 which I can get for $140. I'm unsure if it is upgradable, which is a huge need for me, so if it isn't, it's eliminated. I'm unsure in the externals or stock performance so if someone could chime in that would he great. I'm not even sure who snow wolf is.
4. Lastly I'm looking at the Echo 1 ASR mainly for the price. I'm not as big of fan of the tactical military look, but the $115 with bipods and the recently purchased thread on upgrading it has drawn me to it. How does it stand up to the othersentioned?
My biggest requirement is atleast somewhat okay stock performance, durability, performance once lightly to moderately upgraded, and upgradabiliy. Obviously $200 isnt working with too much, but I think I should be able to get a decent platform to build off of for it. If anyone has any other reccomend actions or things they would like to add or help with, please don't hesitate! Thanks for reading and for all help in advance as I know there's a lot written.
