Could you atleast post a LITTLE help?

Not use the search button please
I'm not sure i understand what you are looking for as help...

but if you like the Tanaka M700 Rifle, get it. But by asking for 'nothing over 800$ please', you won't get it... because the rifle will cost you 800$ CND from any retailers, plus at least 50$ shipping (that thing is HEAVY). You'll have to get Gas for it (6$), a propane adaptor (30$), some good weight bbs (.30, .36 ... that's another 50$) and of course, a scope, which will cost about 60$. you'll need a bag or case to carry it, so that's at least another 50 to 100$.

So you're looking at an investment of 1000$+ for that rifle to beging your airsoft experience... hoping you do have protective gear (goggles) that's another 100$.

To be very honest with you, lots of new players want to be a sniper, and after 2 months, sell their gear and quit airsoft or buy a AEG...

So my advice to you is, get a AEG with "sniper capabilities" such as a M16 or a G3Sg1. That way, you'll be able to have a good range with small modifs and still enjoy playing a game normally if sniping ain't what you though it would be.

And As Grey said.... old records are good... Go to a Game, take a look, get a feel and then make a decision.

And finally, if you are not 18years old, you won't be able to get an airsoft from here, unfortunatly.

This help some?

I think he means no sniper rifle with an initial cost of over $800. Am sure he'd be willing put whatever money into it over a couple months after that.

t_1_n_0_u_1, if you like the Tanaka M700 and want to try sniping out, the KJW M700 is strongly recommended because of cost (about $350 new shipped) and it's a good gun. Buy it, buy a scope & good rings, 0.30g BBs and a duster adaptor, and learn and try for cheap. If you still want a Tanaka M700 after a while, sell the KJW then buy the Tanaka, and you'll just transfer all else you bought over to the Tanaka. Simple and effective.

Can someone give me a link to a Canadian Retailer that sells a KJ M700. I found it on other airsoft sites (Redwolf, UNCompany), but none of the ones provided at the top of this website.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience....

Retailers can't always list what they havqe instock or just bring anything and everything in, especially when it a low demand item.
If you contact a retailer or tru and ask them to bring in what you want it's usually doable but might take longer to get since it'll have to be ordered and imported before it gets sent to you.

However for the KJ M700 Grim Fandango may have one in stock as he is a KJW retailer on the boards.

How much more help do you want? Prices? The full list is at your finger tips.
Seeing guns to be sure? Just go to any game. Want to know if a Canadian Retailer has a gun? Newsflash! Email them and ask???

If this is what you call not helping you, then what else do you want? Someone to go to your door and click your computer mouse for you?

You know something? Maybe I should not help any newbies and truly flame them right off the bat as some here seem to think I do all the time.

Want flames to whine about? Cool with me. That can be arranged.
