    well your best bet is to get a few shots with one aswell.... i find the bolt operates easier on some VSRs over some l96s.. i dont know why but thats just me

    iv fired some l96s and the range on them is generraly good but if you want an overall good sniper get yourself a steyr ssg they have good range good power and look unbelievable the l96 is too long for my liking

    As a large portion of Airsoft is look and feel, it is best to find a compromise between functionality, comfort and aesthetics. For example, the €1,500 Socom Gear Barret M82 looks extremely bad ass, but it is a heavy SOB to lug around, and as it has no functional benefit, such as comfort, it is not ideal.

    The L96-style I find far more comfortable than the VSR. It's heavier, but I also prefer that. The VSR, especially the TM, is very light...too light. However, it is a superior system to the L96.

    But hey, this is airsoft...we make concessions to make ourselves happy

    if your lookin for a cheap sniper that performs well i saw 1 earlier on the adverts http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056365235 i would reccomend this gun over the l96 any day its just more practical
