Hello to all of you again, Im back after a long absence of school where I was a live in and didnt really get to even hold my rifles let alone get out to play. I come back to my home and behold my house had been broken in to and my rifles were among the things taken. So this being said I really have no hopes to recover them. Which brings us to the topic in question.
Im looking for a decently upgradable spring rifle to use as a recon/sniper position on the local airsoft field around the 150 range. The main things Im looking for are two things really.
Sound! This is a major thing for me...Ive been looking for a quiet rifle rather than the loud piston rifles I seem to be getting all the time. Every time Ive fired a rifle on the field Ive had trouble keeping engaged due to everyone hearing the loud pop of the piston sending the bb down range. Ive fired other bolt action rifles that sound like they have a whisper smooth rolling type piston or something inside them and I really like how quiet they were.
Range. This is always a problem for me as I like to be a more long range combatant. I have a sidearm that they didnt get ahold of that I use for cqc not to mention the local field has a minimum engagement range for bolt's and dmr's anyway. I need to be able to reach over 100 feet with the rifle and maintain a certain degree of accuracy. I can deal with the shot curving and am rather good at adjusting for follow up shots, the issue is getting the round down range without the aeg's sending 1500 rounds back at me.
These two things in mind, I have a little more money to spend than I've listed, but the base rifle Id like to really be in the 150 range. Upgrades will have to be bought over time as Im now between jobs (Thank you seasonal work!) and am looking to get back into the work force. Any information is much appreciated.
