Cheers guys, yeah I've watched many videos and read plenty of posts to see buying a sniper straight up isn't rexommended. I'm not jumping on it straight away, I'm more interested in good outdoor sites around Manchester. I can see there's quite a few was just looking for some preferences if possible. Thanks for your responces!

Have a look at First and Only and Cerberus Airsoft for sites around Manchester. Bolton Woodland will probably be my local outdoor site if you exclude Alpha One.
 
Agreed with JCheese on the sniping thing. Go for it if you want but an AEG is generally better for beginners as sniping isn't what you might expect. A sniper rifle without upgrades (probably another £100 at a minimum) is going to get roughly the same range / accuracy as an AEG anyway, except you're limited to bolt action and can't use it inside 20m. Also means you'll want to buy a pistol straight away too.
 

my suggestion, don't buy a sniper rifle as your first gun. It's not as good as you think it'll be, sitting in a bush waiting for 20 minutes for that perfect shot, only for the guy you shot to not feel it.
