If you can get one, I highly recommend a CA M15 of whatever flavour. Externally, they're about as good as they come with a kickass metal body and super-solid externals. I hear internals are a bit hit-or-miss, but usually the problem (piston & head, tappet plate, spring guide) are all cheap and plentiful and easy to replace.

My rifle is an absolute killer all around. It's had some minor internal upgrades (bearing spring guide, Systema silent piston / cylinder head, tappet plate), but not till it had 20 000 rounds put through it stock. None of the stock internals showed any wear other than the tappet plate after all the use (I thought the internals would be worn to shit).

I recently added a tightbore and it's a tack-driver now. It got me some nice kills at the last game - all 50-ish foot ranges through thick brush (described as "bush as thick as 70s porn"). I wouldn't trade this gun for anything, even a PTW.
