and a TM PSGI which I am too lazy to find a link to.
Curious, where did you find a WA 2000? A link would be cool.

Sorry forgot to include that. I couldn't find it on redwolf but I just did. http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/AEG_AEP_Tokyo_Marui_G3_Series_Tokyo_Marui_PSG_1.htm

Or was it this one (doubt it, it is out of your price range and discontinued)

If I'm looking for a bolt action what's your recommendations on that ?

Sergeant Posts : 331 Join date : 2009-05-29

Well since you have a higher budget would you want a gas bolt action or a just plain old bolt action?

Private Posts : 11 Join date : 2010-10-15

Plain I have issues with gas guns ( hah )

You could always invest in a TM VSR-10 and upgrade it. But for anymore ?'s you should probably ask someone other than me as I have very little experience with this. Plus you probably just want the input from one person.

Alright thanks for trying to help

You're not going to have much fun with those $1000 "custom awesomesauce" guns they're selling on Red Wolf or ASGI or any major retailer. Your best option is to buy a good base gun ($200-400), then customize and upgrade the heck out of it yourself (DIY-$600).

$1000 for a bolt action sniper rifle?
Idunno about that...after a week or two, you'll wish you didn't.

I'm just being entirely honest.

You get to a point where the performance difference between a $400 springer and a $1000 springer is not worth your hard earned cash.

PSG would be the highest-reccomnded by me, as I've actually seen it in action and it's from a very reputable company.

Alright what's the best base sniper rifle to use ?

Private Posts : 11 Join date : 2010-10-15

Ok I might go for the PSG 1 . Thanks for all the help

Didn't SnoSnipe have a ARES gas rifle? I think he did and he loved it... or something. Ask him, lol.

one of my friends had a sniper and all he did was get shot. perfect working gun but as you can figure not alot of action for a sniper. he'd get maybe one or two kills a day. i would just go for a LONG barreled assault rifle.

Yep that's pretty much how sniping always is in airsoft. Yet the masses come flocking to the sniper rifles...

Well to be entirely blunt...if I wanted to drop $1000 on a gun, it would not be a springer.
No matter how much $$$ you put into "upgrades"...there's only so much you can do with the humble metal spring and still keep within the bounds of field rules and legality.

My $1000 purchase? KWA M4 (~$300)...then all kinds of other crap (Pantac rig, misc crap, etc...) with the leftovers.
Who am I kidding...$300 on a KWA...then the rest goes into tuition and gas.

Think about it...in all reality, you're dropping $1000 bucks on a metal spring in a fancy housing.
If that's not Western indulgence and needless expenditures, I don't know what is.
