Thanks... For nothing...

Could you atleast post a LITTLE help?

Not use the search button please
I'm not sure i understand what you are looking for as help...

but if you like the Tanaka M700 Rifle, get it. But by asking for 'nothing over 800$ please', you won't get it... because the rifle will cost you 800$ CND from any retailers, plus at least 50$ shipping (that thing is HEAVY). You'll have to get Gas for it (6$), a propane adaptor (30$), some good weight bbs (.30, .36 ... that's another 50$) and of course, a scope, which will cost about 60$. you'll need a bag or case to carry it, so that's at least another 50 to 100$.

So you're looking at an investment of 1000$+ for that rifle to beging your airsoft experience... hoping you do have protective gear (goggles) that's another 100$.

To be very honest with you, lots of new players want to be a sniper, and after 2 months, sell their gear and quit airsoft or buy a AEG...

So my advice to you is, get a AEG with "sniper capabilities" such as a M16 or a G3Sg1. That way, you'll be able to have a good range with small modifs and still enjoy playing a game normally if sniping ain't what you though it would be.

And As Grey said.... old records are good... Go to a Game, take a look, get a feel and then make a decision.

And finally, if you are not 18years old, you won't be able to get an airsoft from here, unfortunatly.

This help some?
