I was thinking ideally like all in perhaps £500 really I suppose for the gun and any upgrades to it. Would additional things would need to go in to ensure range and consistency that can take the battering?
I've seen an affordable gun that apparently is 380-420fps, I suppose with the cost I could probably put some decent updates on it

Alternatively this CYMA, I just don't really understand the MOSFET/Programmable part Kestrel Basic ETU... How easy is it to lock to semi? If I have to get somebody to do it, is it easy? It states:

or this SR25 from CYMA but I suppose I'd prefer the other given more accessible mags https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-098-sr-25-dmr-aeg-kestrel-basic-etu?srsltid=AfmBOoqa_vgG9z8Q5TuTAepPr_DSt2a9wBAv94m0Zgh3jBw2eka-g-Lu
I also loved this, but again not sure how much it would cost to lock to semi https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/krytac-trident-mk3-spr-m-aeg?pv=27270
I've actually just seen this, which looks really good - good cost and within budget with some upgrades perhaps and pre-locked so I don't need to mess around changing fire modes
