Fair enough! I won’t be getting either any time soon as well out of my price range ? Just heard and read good things about SSG24
Don’t get me wrong, the SSG is good for those who don’t want to tech, and just want to shoot and hit their targets. But to anyone serious about sniping it’s the SRS all day long.
Its only real downside is the stupid trigger pull ends up hurting your wrist.

Ah I'll look it up cool
but what about after market parts and tuning? I know the VSR10 has heaps and heaps of availability, but what about the SRS?
So have I, the bullpup design is beautiful I'm such a fan of it personally - considering getting one haha, but just wondering about the after market parts and upgrades, hoping there are a good availability and range on the market
the VSR has loads of upgrades because out of the box it simply isnt viable as a sniper. At sub 300 fps out of the box it needs a bigger spring.. Because of that bigger spring, it needs better sears and internals.. The SRS doesn't really need anything. All most people change is the barrel and hop rubber for their preferred brand.
All I’d recommend is the fast hop unit and changing the bucking. You really don’t need to r hop it, and to be honest the PDI barrel on gives an extra metre or so range, so I don’t think it’s worth the money.Ah I'll look it up cool

The rest of the “upgrades” are cheap and easy, such as heat shrinking the spring guide to stop the spring twang, possibly removing the o ring in the hop to prevent it still being loaded when you remove the mag.
If you want it silent, I’d recommend the silencer, it does work.
Shops to have a look at are Skirmshop ( discount codes Sneaky5 and AFUK5 used to work for 5% off) and Longbow - there are others, I just can’t remember them.

22" covert??
Isn't that an oxymoron? lol
I thought the covert was 16" ?
I'm contemplating getting the Sport. Mainly cos it's £100 cheaper, which leaves some wiggle room for upgrades / optics etc...
Your quite correct, just had that lecture off of my brother - his gun - to be honest from what I have seen (our little group has 2) there is very little performance difference in the length of the rifle. We have a 20” and 22” and they both shoot the same give it take a couple of metres due to mods.
Yeah I see your thinking, try using the gun before buying one, the bolt pull takes some getting used too, also don’t forgot your discount codes Sneaky5 or AFUK5 for Skirmshop.

Not personally, my team mate has a good retort with them. I only recommend them because they gave the discount codes out on here previously. People like Longbow, also sell them, and also give discounts, but you have to go about it differently. And some companies out there sell them, at an extortionate price and I would not recommend them for love nor money.
Plus, one of the guys from skirmship is on this forum, and I tend to always recommend shops and companies who are on here.

Pull bolt, push bolt just feels weird! Erm, not entirely sure, although I do know that you can change one to the other very easily with the parts bought from stockists.
Don’t know about the SRS, but if you’re sinking as much money into it as most snipers in Airsoft, isn’t it something you can take to a gunsmith for a trigger adjustment?
