AH HAAAHHHH!!!!

That's funny. I wonder if he actually has an SVD or if he was going to totally try and rip someone off.

It's not uncommon for people to use other people's pics when they're trying to sell something. Just because he's using your pic doesn't mean he's out to rip someone off....

Poor move, he could have at least asked to use the picture..

Also, notice his ad offers f2f. I don't think he would do that if he was planning on ripping someone off.

Back on topic:
The A&K is a real nice replica, however I warn against heavier springs. I played a few games with one shooting ~520fps and my fingers were hurting so bad that I was resorting to using the palm of my left hand to bolt it. Just as a heads up anyway...

Call the surgeons and tell them to take the day off, because I'll be doing all the operating now.

There's a point where this needs to stop, and we've clearly passed it

I went from this

Back In eastern Oregon I was sniper for a while then I moved. Then I went to a few events in Scappose, but my tactics as a sniper just didn't cut it there(to many freaken trees)Plus my spring was wearing down as well. So I made up my mind to get an AEG. The cool thing is now the skill of a sniper is behind an AEG. I can still stock my target like a sniper, and if I miss so what I still have 30 rounds of fully to semi automatic action to try again. I also have a squad to back me up wile under fire. I had I good run as a sniper 5+ years(yes I was 14)

The airsoft sniper is dying breed of airsoft player no one has the patient to do it anymore, but to those you still stock the woods I salute you and keep doing what you to best (In the words of Tom Belinger "one shot, one kill") I know for sure I spelled his last name wrong

Just to prove my point this first picture is roughly the same terrain I grew up with, and the second is the Pacific Northwest

The advice to purchase a quality AEG is sound. There are a large number of OP's where you would be turned away if you showed up with your sniper rifle, as the sniper slots are limited, and get snapped up by the experienced snipers in the community.

There is a scrutiny by the community in general, that your experience is not yet ready to stand up to. Junto says there are 3 - 4 true snipers in our community ( I know of 6...3 are on my team)...but the point is, a sniper rifle and a ghillie do NOT a sniper make.

In this community becoming a sniper is not just saying you are one...no one will take you seriously. I know you probably don't want to hear this, but it is about paying your dues and gaining respect as a player in the community. In other words, you are not ready to take it to the next level.

Also...ditch the black vest. Black does not exist in the natural world, and is like a beacon to those looking for you.
