I absolutely +1 on the marui M14 short or long.
Very solid gun, with one of the best hop up designs for an airsoft gun.
When it comes to range and accuracy there are 3 critical things that matter in choosing a base rifle;
1) consistency of production. If a company makes 10 guns and only 2 of them end up being any good, it's not a good brand to buy
2) marui spec gearbox. If it takes proprietary parts, you're stuck with whatever crap that company chooses to provide you with. Stock internals don't matter, as long as they can be replaced with something better.
3) Hop chamber design. You can have a perfect sealing mechbox with the best Rhop & barrel combo, but if your hop chamber is a crap design to begin with, it won't be very consistent.
The marui M14 is all 3. Very nice gun. I'd go with the shorter barreled "socom", the longer barrel of the standard M14 doesn't provide any extra benefits.
