Even more reason NOT to buy a sniper rifle. Without spending more than it costs out of the box you'll be disappointed when cheaper semi-autos take you to regen all the time.

Two tone won't do you any favours if you plan on hanging it on the wall.

ahh that is cool, means you'll have no trouble buying a 2-tone. 


In answer to your earlier question manufacturing a RIF is not allowed even with a defence unfortunately (lots do exactly what you were planning though, just wanted you to be aware that turning an If to a RIF is always a naughty act even with a defence! :)

I dunno, owning a pink gun can be a pretty interesting talking point.

If you want to do a bit of backyard target practise you'd genuinely be far better off with an inexpensive air rifle. Way more accurate, and safer. Lead pellets splat and stop on a decent backstop, plastic BBs bounce and tick the neighbours off. At the price you're talking about all Airsoft snipers are frustrating and a bit crap.

The Well MB 01 can be made to shoot OK up to around 60m with a £10 part and some skill with a few basic tools. But you still need a scope and mounts. A £100 AEG plus battery and charger will come in less in total, be just as accurate and be a load more fun.

Be aware of the responsibilities you have to protect others. Wave a full auto toy gun around in the back garden and wind the neighbours up and you'll have the local police knocking on your door.

Go to a skirmish a couple of times. Get stuck in and don't be a prick. People will soon acknowledge you, stop and chat, talk about their guns, let you have a go. We are all noobies at some point.
