sonofsammo Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I'm torn. I really like my SRS, but feel like I want more. I could further tinker with it in the pursuit of more, but I then run the risk of not having it in decent nick for a game day, which would make me sad. I'd like an easier bolt pull, more range and a flatter trajectory if possible. And it has to be oh so quiet... So, I have a few options and am not sure of which to go for: a) Get another SRS and upgrade. I like the rifle, cos I like bullpups and I already have three mags. But it's getting so popular that parts are getting harder to get hold of. b) Get a VSR and upgrade. I like that it's a light base. Parts are easier to get hold of too. c) Get a KJW M700 and upgrade. I'd have a tanaka if I could find it, but this seems the next best thing. Gas consistency might be an issue, but a lot of the hunteering guys seem to swear buy them. So..... help me Obi Wans! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK47frizzle Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Why not... try something super short and light? https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk/ares-x-amoeba-as03-sawed-off-striker-sniper-rifle-urban-grey-as03-ug I'm planning to pick one up myself soon.

Wowsers. Now that is small! I wonder what the accuracy/range will be like with such aa short barrel... Any idea what the platform is like for upgrading?

Any idea what the platform is like for upgrading? Seems to share a lot of parts from the as02 variant, and those are very well received as sniper rifle platforms. Looks pretty decent tbh. I'm gonna get one and abuse the heck out of it. The idea of having long range performance in a tiny, efficient package appeals to me a lot.

Supporters M_P Posted August 19, 2019 Supporters Share Posted August 19, 2019 I can never not recommend the VSR, they're fantastic. Easy to source parts and shoot brilliantly when kitted out. The only real downside is that they're very light which some people don't like, but it's a preference thing. Maybe the AAC T10 is worth considering, VSR compatible but has a different aesthetic to set it apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted August 20, 2019 Supporters Share Posted August 20, 2019 That AS-03 looks hilarious. If you want something a bit less extreme, may I suggest the Well MB-02, available in faux wood, black and OD. Because why? Short, light, cheap, mostly VSR compatible. If you're going to replace most of the internals, why spend much much more on a TM and then bin most of it? Sadly, there are few sellers, so I'd have to point you at BBguns4Less. Put it in your basket, leave it for 24 hours (don't visit the site again), and you'll get a 7% discount code, bringing it down to £74.40 delivered. https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/well-mb02-vsr10-spring-sniper-rifle-in-wood.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stodgy Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 @sonofsammo well if you like the kjw m700 I have one I am looking to offload as I prefer my VSR. It comes with a palmers pursuit regulator and has a tapped mag and just needs some fettling. New AA hop for it etc to bring it up to laser standard. If your interested.

Could always go for a SVU, bullpup and DMR. There is a Gas one as well if preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I loathed it. It's only for people with tiny arms and tiny hands 😞 I really want the Silverback MDR - but I don't think that will actually be out, ever. Play wise at the moment, I'm more interested in being sneaky and silent- picking shots - which is why I'm interested in something in addition to current SRS...

The only thing I can suggest thats a bullpup is the Snow Wolf M99 Barrett. EDIT: 7+kg of awesome. Otherwise, try and find one of the lightweight limited edition SRS.

Wo1f Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 VFC m40a5 has sniper fits all your needs. Super light bolt pull, consistent as shit when broken in and takes the usual maple leaf barrel/buckings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wo1f Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 @PopRocket123The VFC in an improved upon m700 design. I ended up with very good Performance from it before selling to a mate. He used it all day Sunday and got some good kills with it. The gun gun is heavy though. From what I’ve heard from American owners, the stock is indistinguishable from the real one. The action is nice and the FPS is adjustable via the bolt. Mags are expensive and a touch fiddly to get in until you get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Another suggestion is the AAC10. Takes all the VSR upgrades and has TDC out of the box. It looks really meaty in person but is fairly lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Prisce Posted August 21, 2019 Supporters Share Posted August 21, 2019 I like the AAC T10. It would be my next sniper if I was to get one. Knowing what you like etc, I’d buy another SRS and HPA it, you can pull the bolt with your pinky, and it’s like an inch bolt pull. Super quiet, and it’s the platform you like, and it’s very accurate.

Briareos Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Yo dude, just my 10 cents here I have most sniper rifles and i gotta say as far as stealth goes, my tanaka's are the way. as far as consistency goes, i'd highly recommend tapping a mag and running HPA mine makes 490 on 25psi with the stock bolt and a palmers negative pressure stabiliser. i use the Ogre line from my P* and dont even notice its there. on the note of lines and realism, i hate to say it, but its still only a toy gun haha so whats the harm :P *ducks for cover* Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
