I would recommend this thread before anything

Recently got a ASG AW 308 [$200] about 450 fps shoots about 65 meters with accuracy. The only downside its a bit heavy. Another option is a Ameba Striker.
The VSR10 clones Well and Jar are about $170-$200 they don't shoot as good out of the box but you can easily upgrade them to a very high performance sniper rifle but it will cost a lot for the upgrades.
