Incase you're interested in what I did....
I bought another TM VSR 10, but in OD this time. I did handle the other snipers, TAC-41, SSG's, they were nice but felt like 'too much' of a gun for what I need, if you see what I mean. The clean line and simplicity of the VSR is a real attraction to me. I've bought the parts to upgrade to the same spec as my other VSR, this will be fine for now until I feel the need to go further.
Thanks for all the input and DM's guys, its really appreciated.
The scope is just one I had lying about. its a x50 and too big in my view. I'll keep an eye out for a nice x40 mildot.
