okay, so i just got bored of my newly built ICS M4 - CQBR.

after upgrading it, i was achieving accuracy of man sized targets, at a measured distance of 260ft. this was achieved with .25g bbs on semi auto with a hit miss ratio of 8/10, in an open field in which the distance was measured out. this was only possible using Mettle Tech bb's as the Madbull bb's have a slightly smaller diameter of .02mm ..doesn't sound like much, but when your using a 6.01mm (285mm long) barrel it does effect accuracy a LOT! - this was my first build, if you really want to call it that lol
Primarily i use semi or short burst of 3-8 shots mostly at ranges beyond 75ft. i dont really care to much about ROF as i have a second AEG for that *evil grin* (TM MP5k w/ 11.1). so basically im looking for something to replace my ics m4 with. so far both the
KJW Ruger 10/22 & the
G&G M14 (short version s.o.c.?) have caught my eye.
are there any
other good base guns to make a "
rifleman's gun" out of? - its kind of a contradiction but it has to be fairly short. - im not sold on the whole barrel length thing, as it seems to me to be more important on real steel then airsoft. upgraded AEP anyone?
when i think of the two guns ive been looking at this is what comes to mind:
KJW Ruger 10/22:
-Gas Powered - cool down effect in winter

(anyone know how bad this is on the 10/22?)
-Semi Auto only :l
-I love M4 accessories - especially Magpul - so this is a plus as i can still use my preexisting accessories

-Less Money

-doesnt have the plasticky parst like the top thing that the M14 has

-its unique
G&G M14 SBR (or other brand??)
-Electric

-proprietary gear box

-Parts of the body seem kinda cheap
-full auto capability

-more money

-more upgradeable?

-more reliable?

I would love to get my hands on a marui, but i fear the price of a marui over the G&G might be more then i want to know.
any other thoughts that i should consider??
which one would yield best accuracy results?
basically im asking for your guy's input on which is a better "riflemans" gun, and is it possible to achieve my accuracy goals of 260ft with either of these two guns.
Any & all thoughts or ideas are welcome, Thanks in advance!
