Actually the VSR-10 stock is fine, but it's pretty expensive to upgrade considering there are lots of sear issues when using a stronger spring in it............... aka. always breaking aftermarket sears, user ends up getting the $150+ Zero Trigger and piston to fix it.
Get an APS2-SV flat out, it's got scores of aftermarket parts for it, and is relatively easy to work on. But since you have "mechanical ability", if you have access to Heli-Coils, then you might just like the CA M24. It's the heaviest, most realistic feeling airsoft sniper rifle out there, weighs about 8-9lbs without bipod, scope, etc., has some issues but is pretty stable (and fucking solid!!!) after you set it up right. And it takes most APS2 parts internally, and a great stock trigger assembly, largely made out of good steel.
Problem is, once you bought everything new, including the gun, you'll be around the $1000investment mark.

If you plan to go cheap on airsoft guns, go home!

Point of my quote above, is that you will end up spending a lot for cheap guns and trying to get the best out of them, and after that large wasted chunk of cash, you could have just bought something recommended, even if more expensive, and had no problems at all (other than minor ("How do I do this with this gun?") Cheap equals major headaches, properly planned out, although more expensive, gets you a quality gun that will do very well in good hands on the field (and target range).
