I thought of opening a new thread, as the subject had really veered off from the other thread topic.
Apparently, according to the PTW people, their guns have an effective range of 270 ft., OOTB.
Now, I play in a small sniper team, and we run the following guns: Fully upgraded, custom modded, 500 FPS, 440mm precision inner, WE SCAR GBB DMR; Fully upgraded, 480 FPS TM PSG-1; Fully upgraded, custom modded, 600 FPS, 629mm precision inner KJW M700. The SCAR and the PSG, both have poor groupings at 270 ft., and are more comfortable around the 230 ft. mark, the KJW can probably go to 300, still somewhat grouping, but the amount of work put into these guns is pretty big. I also haven't heard of the other top notch sniper platforms (VSR, Tanaka) going beyond the 300 ft. mark, after being absolutely dialed in. These are all properly measured distances, as opposed to the testimony of some guy who just spent thousands on a PTW (that's so realistic it doesn't even have any sort of recoil).
So, with a much shorter inner, and absolutely stock, do these PTW's have magic buckings or sumthin'? 'cos I ain't seein' much of a point in running a bolt action that requires thousands in upgrades and custom work, when for the same price you can have a gun that's out of the box at pretty much the same range, with beautiful groupings, and can shoot in full auto. Guess all the snipers out there are just THAT dumb.
