Torn on Sniper Rifles

Get......what.....first.....parents.....kill?

He's like 20 dude.......

Personal preferance *SVD* I dunno, there is just something about the druganov that reeks style, and coolness. The way it looks with the wood stock, instead of some composite material. The scope is so unique (sic). Just my opinion however.

Jacko, I've invested about $550 in my APS (not including the stock gun). My final plan for it involves a longer inner and outer barrel, as well as some other ideas that I'm not going to specify, muhahahah. We'll see if my ideas on increasing accuracy will bear any fruit.

The SR can soak up a bit of money too as you are discovering. If you do make it a high power sniper replica and you want to make it semi-auto only I can give you a hand. I just finished the mod on my SR and it works perfectly...safe and semi, but no full-auto, no matter where you place the selector switch. I even used rubbing alcohol to remove the "Full" from the receiver. The mod will even work when I switch over to the DTP body (if I ever save enough money).

Hmm, so a highly upgraded bolt action and a highly upgraded AEG package (Such as the SVD) will cost roughly the same in the end then. (If we're assuming I buy an APS2 EX from AT, which is 377.)

That's reassuring. I would want to make it semi-auto, to assuage any fears from the folks I play with, so I'd definitely be interested in that. I've been looking on AirsoftPlayers and a few of the other sites that have classifieds and finding upgraded AK-47S's for sale. Soooo tempting.

Now, I just need my get rich quick scheme to work a liiiitle faster.

Oh, frostee? You should see this 'field' that we might be playing on in Howell. It's basically a 3 acre mountain with varying plateau's. I felt like I had sprinted a mile after climbing up it a couple days ago. Snipers paradise.

dude jacko i am getting the chills cause i really want to get my ass into the woods with my ghillie suit
SaRa is getting anxious too and my neighbors are starting to get worried considering i go out on my deck and sight it in every day to see if i can get it any better . the only thing i am thinking about adding onto it is the custom low cap short mag and a heat sensor/nighvision would be cool. And im going to bring a little thing to write down all my kills on too ;Dnot reall but it sounded cool. i am still going to keep the full auto capability on my SR mainly for any reason i feel like making it a stock sr16 again. I might possibly and i am going to kick myself in the ass if i do this, get the 20" Vmatch kit , note i already have the 15"kit , mainly for accuracy reasons. My bipod looks badassed and my gun looks like it will tear assholes like a bear to a little dog. oh if you cant tell im waiting for a nice skirmish to use my frankenstien. Well, i hope you decide on a nice sniper rifle. I would go with the Druganov mainly for badass-ness. that thing looks 120percent pure evil. but you are an sr guy, i mena, you made me want one in the first place , and frostee. if i remember right you were at white thunder completely raping all of whom passed through your sights luckily i never got hit, i was wondering, frostee this is, what bbs do you use and what fps are you shootiung at with them

[Jacko]

derick, I know what you mean about the Dragunov looking evil, it really does look like some kinda freaky deaky level 9 kinda gun, eh? I think that's what it'll come to, for that reason, and the fact that the cost is going to be relatively the same for any upgraded sniper rifle. The fact that it's a little seen, rare item is a a nice perk, but I think it's just about the coolest looking AK variant to my eyes and the only one I'd wanna own.
