An M14 that can outrange sniper rifles?

I don't know where you hope to go with this, but that's just not possible. A well-upgraded sniper rifle with good ammo can get kill shots at around 200-250 feet. That's range far beyond any AEG.

The whole point of BAs in airsoft is that they are far more accurate and have far more range than AEG. Maximum range for an upgraded sniper rifle with good ammo is around 250 feet (.36/.43 metal coated BBs ftw). I would say that even the most psychotically upgraded AEG in existance would probably max out somewhere between 120 and 140 feet.

As I said, throw some mild upgrades into it, and you'll have a gun that will outreach a good chunk of the AEGs out there. You're simply not going to get the performance to compete with a BA sniper at range. If you want a dedicated sniper platform, a bolt action is FAR better suited to the job.

I'm not trying to sound like an asshole, but you can only take an AEG so far.
