No. Period.

I don't care if he's a Gold Medal Olympic target shooter. Sniping is WAY WAY WAY different in airsoft than it is with real steel or even a pellet gun. Trust me on this, I actually had the chance to play with a VSR two weeks ago. I did like 5 rounds "down range" probably 40 feet away at a waterbottle (I had to use .20's though but if I had the chance I would have used .28's or heavier just no one had any that day). Hardest fucking thing ever, and that was a mildly upgraded one (basically as I understand it just a tightbore and spring upgrade)

If he's serious about it then it might be a better idea to get a nice DMR base platform, play with it stock for a while then lock it to semi with delay via MOSFET when the time is right. That way you aren't left with something you've sunk $800+ into and have to sell.
