In my post on the general board forum I stated that I am new to the airsoft community. After lots of reading and reviewing and looking at various retailers and comparing, I'm curious as to your guys insight. I am looking for a sniper rifle, most likely spring and unfortunately under the $100 dollar mark.
Any advice or insight welcome, thanks in advance.

i have a UTG R700 im selling for 30$, that is just for the rifle and 2 mags. the reason it is so cheap is that it was my third gun i bought and has been used its fair share. it is still in good condition except for a small crack in the stock. It shoots around 390-400fps. i'd throw the scope in for 10$ more.

I'll be honest with you it's very hard too use a sniper rifle out there right now since everyone else basicly has aeg's but it will become easier too once it starts to get greener.
These guns are not accurate.

We just got a Sniper Rifle package back in stock with a 3-9x40 scope and a bi-pod for $109.95. We also have a few other new guns in stock that I will be posting up in our section later today.

thesicness: it looks like I'm gonna be trying to come out before my own practice here in 3 sundays and check stuff out. I'll let you know through the boards when I am becuase I would be interested in checking out that rifle.
Koyote: completely understand from what I've seen on the internet in regards to most people using aeg's and I may be completely off base but the realistic accuracy of a sniper rifle which makes it effective just isn't the same when it comes to the airsoft versions. When we did our playtest (reminder, we were playtesting a game that mixed melee combat with weapons) we had people that fought mostly melee combat cuz we were used to it and had spring pistols that were cheap and were trying something out and we had other people that mainly did airsoft running around with $200-400 aeg's. Heck yeah I got torn up like no man's business and there is no melee combat with that so we are restricting the types of guns we are using and the amount of ammo to fit the 'feel' of what we are doing. It is not traditional airsoft. I do understand your point though.
Thanks for the replies.

Although you will be outgunned most of the time by using a bolt-action, I don't want to downplay how fun it can be to use one, even against AEG's. Sure, you'll be playing a supporting role and should stick with a couple other people, but it's still fun.
Having said that, I would definately come out to a game and borrow someone's bolt-action before buying one.

I have an AGM MP001 that I might consider selling for less than $100. I had one of the sniper rifles there at the game on Sunday.

I was going to buy a springer sniper once but I decided against it because I don't have the patience for it. Though it looks like fun, I don't have the drive to stay in my location as a supporting role and wait for my opponents to come within range.
