After doing a lot of research and reading about airsoft sniper rifles, I bought the classic army m14.  My decision came down to one thing, customer reports and what people who already own the airsoft guns have to say about them.  I didn’t pay too much attention to the claims of the guys who make the guns because they all claim to be the best.  I found that the great majority of people who own this gun, love it and rave about it in reviews.  Also, the price is reasonable compared to a lot of other airsoft guns out there and performs even better than other more expensive models.
