If i ever feel that Sniping is definatley the way to go, I'd sell this, and get the CA, but for now, its just a fun project. Also, ive heard great things, and for 220$, you cant go wrong

Being "damaged" it is now in my price range, and again, hopefully it'll be fixable.

Would the same upgrades apply to the CA M24 than to the VSR? Or do i need different parts?
THe CA M24 is a totally different gun, it uses AEG parts (inner barrel and hop up rubber) and APS2 (PSS2) parts, which the VSR clones can't. And the CA M24 also has the best and strongest trigger assembly out of the bunch, it's parts are made out of high quality steel (including the sear), so nothing will ever break in there, and it's adjustable for trigger pull too. If you get one I'll tell you how to set it up right. If you are willing to spend $100-150 on a Zero Trigger, you could just add that amount of money to buying a CA M24.

Also, the M24 is extrememly rugged, you can knock it off trees, fall on it (do both too often), and it'll shrug it off without a problem (your scope on the other hand................). And the barrel/receiver is thick heavy pot metal, the stock is solid composite. Overall the entire rifle, with scope and bipod, weighs in around 13-14lbs.
