just expressing my opinion hear. a sniper rifle is probably the worst starter gun if your looking to get into airsoft. if you have very limited amounts of cash, i guess id say go with a Kraken. but if you have a bit of money, get a TM or CA gun, krakens don't last to long before you start having to spend more money fixing them...a stock TM or CA will last you quite a while without or vary little problems... snipers are expensive if you want to out preform a average AEG...just my 2 cents
