Hey guys. As you know Xmas is rolling around and I need some help. This is going to be lengthy, but any help is GREATLY appreciated. So first off let's clear some things up.
I'm going to get a sniper. I have about roughly 300$ to blow. Now...I'm not some 15 year old kid that is like "OH. THEY SNIPE THAT GOOD IN SCOUTTHEDOGGIE. I WANT TO BE A SNIPER!!!" Nor do I think because I can snipe like predator in CoD. I can do that In airsoft. So no "kid. Get an AEG" comments please

. I've owned an AEG and used my friends and owned a sniper (L96). And I love sniping. The patience,time and skill it takes to be successful is more fun that spraying a cloud of bb's. That's just my opinion. Now that that's out of the way let's get started.
Which gun should should I get and what should I upgrade?
I definitely loved the feel of my l96 while it lasted. But. I hear it has a bunch of problems such as the hop up and parts being hard to find when you want to upgrade it. What snipers would you recommend that are going to last and be a good basis to build on. A Vsr, idk...that's why I need you guys. Also. Do any places sell any guns pre-upgraded with everything you could need? I saw airsoftgi's g series snipers. But I don't trust them for $@€*. Now. If one of you guys say L96. What brand and what are all the parts I would need to accurately hit opponents from 210-300 feet away? I just need some advice here as you can probably tell. Any wisdom is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
