Good cheap way to introduce myself to airsoft sniping without breaking the bank.
Something to consider...

Actually I've been hearing from some people the JG BAR-10 isn't terribly bad for a base platform and is generally to spec so it's not like you're getting a shit base platform. Plus with prices normalizing it's a decent-ish rifle to get even if you go back to using an AEG and just use the BASR for dicking around your cottage/cabin/farm/backyard/basement.
BUT there's something that nags me to not recommend it if you want to build "the ultimate sniper rifle" because even if it's generally to spec and you can get it shooting well it's still all about the base. Build a house on a shitty foundation and it can sink on you, build a house on a good solid foundation with proper piles driven into the ground and it can withstand small earthquakes.
