Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Accurate AEG @ 150+ ft with heavier BB's under $500

I have looked through the forums and I wasn't able to find a specific or recent answer to the dilemma of "What is the most accurate AEG under $500 out of the box?".

I've contemplated GBB but the cool down effect and the need for warmer temperatures have scared me off a bit. The ease of use of an AEG potentially outweighs the realism and maintenance of a GBB in my mind.

I'm looking for a rifle for use in more of an infantry-like support role while playing outdoors. Field limit is 425 FPS with .20 for non sniper rifles. Realizing that heavier BB's are more accurate I run .28 in my current M4.

My goal is to find something that doesn't need a boat load of $ in upgrades to deliver accurate results over distance in excess of 150 feet. I have read that the SG550 from G&G is already very accurate and I was trying to find out from a group of experienced players what other contenders under $500 are out there.

Reliability and consistency are obviously key components of the decision process. Size and weight of the weapon aren't really important to me but I would prefer to stay away from actual sniper rifles.

Thanks in advance for your input.
